NbN is Tungsten Carbide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Nb(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing NbN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Nb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NNb6 pentagonal pyramids.
