The compound described by Ba3(VN2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. There are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second Ba site, Ba(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(2) and four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VN4 tetrahedra. In the second V site, V(2) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VN4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba(1), two equivalent Ba(2), one V(1), and one V(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ba(2), three equivalent Ba(1), one V(1), and one V(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
