IrSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir is bonded to six equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing IrSn6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. All Ir–Sn bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ir atoms.
