Materials Data on Yb(H2N)2 by Materials Project
Yb(NH2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent N3- atoms. There are two shorter (2.44 Å) and four longer (2.56 Å) Yb–N bond lengths. N3- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Yb2+ and two equivalent H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom.
