Materials Data on Ba3Co(CN)3 by Materials Project
Ba3Co(CN)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five equivalent N3- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.41 Å. Co1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent C+0.67+ atoms. All Co–C bond lengths are 1.78 Å. C+0.67+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co1+ and one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.24 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five equivalent Ba2+ and one C+0.67+ atom.
