Cr2N is beta Vanadium nitride structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. Cr(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NCr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to six equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NCr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°.
