Materials Data on Ba3N2 by Materials Project
Ba3N2 is alpha Rhenium trioxide-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of one ammonia molecule and one Ba3N framework. In the Ba3N framework, Ba2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Ba–N bond lengths are 2.68 Å. N3- is bonded to six equivalent Ba2+ atoms to form corner-sharing NBa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
