ZnN6 crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. Zn(1) is bonded to one N(4), one N(7), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnN4 tetrahedra. There are eight inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(7) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one N(8) atom. In the second N site, N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one N(2) atom. In the third N site, N(8) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(7) atoms. In the fourth N site, N(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(3) atom. In the fifth N site, N(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(2) atom. In the sixth N site, N(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) and one N(5) atom. In the seventh N site, N(5) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(4) and one N(6) atom. In the eighth N site, N(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(5) atom.
