Materials Data on Mg(CuN)3 by Materials Project
Mg(CuN)3 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form corner-sharing MgN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Mg–N bond lengths are 2.07 Å. Cu+2.33+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Cu–N bond lengths are 2.07 Å. N3- is bonded to two equivalent Mg2+ and four equivalent Cu+2.33+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMg2Cu4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
