BaWN3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent N(2), and four equivalent N(3) atoms. W(1) is bonded to one N(2), one N(3), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing WN4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1), one W(1), and one N(2) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and one W(1) atom.
