Materials Data on BaN by Materials Project
BaN is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to six equivalent N2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing BaN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Ba–N bond lengths are 2.86 Å. N2- is bonded to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NBa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
