The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 44°. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.67 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four Fe and one N atom. Both Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.72 Å. The Fe–N bond length is 1.89 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Fe and one N atom. The Fe–Fe bond length is 2.66 Å. The Fe–N bond length is 1.92 Å. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sm and thirteen Fe atoms. The Fe–Fe bond length is 2.36 Å. N is bonded to two equivalent Sm and four Fe atoms to form NSm2Fe4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeSm2Fe10 cuboctahedra, corners with four equivalent NSm2Fe4 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeSm2Fe10 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°.
