Materials Data on Sr3CrN3 by Materials Project
Sr3CrN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to five equivalent N3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.95 Å. Cr3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N3- atoms. All Cr–N bond lengths are 1.73 Å. N3- is bonded to five equivalent Sr2+ and one Cr3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NSr5Cr octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 23–42°.
