Materials Data on HgBrN by Materials Project
HgNBr crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg2+ is bonded to two equivalent N1- and four equivalent Br1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing HgBr4N2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. Both Hg–N bond lengths are 2.11 Å. All Hg–Br bond lengths are 3.10 Å. N1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Hg2+ atoms. Br1- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Hg2+ atoms.
