IrN2 crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Ir(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form IrN6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Ir(1)N6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent N(1)Ir3N tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 71°. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ir(1) and one N(1) atom to form NIr3N tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Ir(1)N6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent N(1)Ir3N tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 70°.
