KPdN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. Pd(1,2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Pd(1,2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NK4Pd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-54°. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Pd(1,2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NK4Pd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-54°.
