LiIrN2 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form LiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Ir(1)N4 tetrahedra. Ir(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form IrN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ir(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NLi2Ir2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NLi2Ir2 tetrahedra.

Li(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form LiN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Ir(1)N4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (2.10 Å) and one longer (2.13 Å) Li(1)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.13 Å) and one longer (2.14 Å) Li(1)-N(2) bond length. Ir(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form IrN4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ir(1)N4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Li(1)N4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (1.93 Å) Ir(1)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (1.94 Å) Ir(1)-N(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NLi2Ir2 tetrahedra. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent Ir(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NLi2Ir2 tetrahedra.
