Na2IrN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Na(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NaN5 square pyramids. Ir(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Na(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NNa5Ir octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°.
Na2IrN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Na(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NaN5 square pyramids. There is one shorter (2.49 Å) and four longer (2.57 Å) Na(1)-N(1) bond lengths. Ir(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Ir(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Na(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NNa5Ir octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-8°.
