PtN2 crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Pt(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form PtN6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pt(1)N6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent N(1)Pt3N tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 70°. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pt(1) and one N(1) atom to form NPt3N tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pt(1)N6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent N(1)Pt3N tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 71°.
