CrN2 is High (Orthorhombic) Tridymite-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to one N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to one N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cr(1) and one Cr(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cr(1) and one Cr(2) atom.

In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to one N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. The Cr(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.70 Å. All Cr(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.74 Å. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to one N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. The Cr(2)-N(1) bond length is 1.75 Å. All Cr(2)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.72 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cr(1) and one Cr(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cr(1) and one Cr(2) atom.
