Materials Data on BaCN2 by Materials Project
BaCN2 is Potassium Silver Cyanide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BaN6 pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.91 Å. C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.24 Å. N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+ and one C4+ atom.
