Materials Data on NaB(CN)4 by Materials Project
Na(CN)4B is Zintl Phase structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight boron molecules and eight Na(CN)4 clusters. In each Na(CN)4 cluster, Na1+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Na–N bond lengths are 2.39 Å. C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.16 Å. N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Na1+ and one C2+ atom.
