Materials Data on Mg(IN)2 by Materials Project
Mg(NI)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Mg(NI)2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Mg2+ is bonded to two equivalent N and four equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing MgI4N2 octahedra. Both Mg–N bond lengths are 2.25 Å. All Mg–I bond lengths are 2.86 Å. N is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg2+ atom. I1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ atoms.
