The crystal structure described by NaLi5N2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are five inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Li site, Li(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the third Li site, Li(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. In the fourth Li site, Li(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the fifth Li site, Li(5) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Na(1), one Li(4), two equivalent Li(2), two equivalent Li(3), and two equivalent Li(5) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na(1), one Li(2), one Li(5), two equivalent Li(1), and two equivalent Li(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
