Materials Data on CuH12C4(NO)6 by Materials Project
Cu(CO3)2(CN3H6)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4n2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight guanidinium molecules and one Cu(CO3)2 framework. In the Cu(CO3)2 framework, there are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 2.00 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.26 Å) and two longer (1.32 Å) C–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one C4+ atom.
