V(PbN)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), and one N(4) atom. There are four inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Pb site, Pb(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(3) atoms. In the third Pb site, Pb(3) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the fourth Pb site, Pb(4) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one V(1), one Pb(4), and two equivalent Pb(3) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to one V(1), one Pb(2), and two equivalent Pb(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NVPb3 trigonal pyramids. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Pb(2) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V(1) and two equivalent Pb(4) atoms.
V(PbN)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. V(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N(1), one N(2), one N(3), and one N(4) atom. The V(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.85 Å.
