Ba(PN2)2 crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine N3- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.83–2.97 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve N3- atoms to form distorted BaN12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent PN4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent PN4 tetrahedra. There are six shorter (3.05 Å) and six longer (3.40 Å) Ba–N bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form PN4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent BaN12 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent PN4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one BaN12 cuboctahedra. There is three shorter (1.65 Å) and one longer (1.66 Å) P–N bond length. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Ba2+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to three Ba2+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms.
