Materials Data on KN3 by Materials Project
KN3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent N+0.33- atoms. All K–N bond lengths are 3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent N+0.33- sites. In the first N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N+0.33- atoms. Both N–N bond lengths are 1.19 Å. In the second N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and one N+0.33- atom.
