Materials Data on NiN by Materials Project
NiN is Wurtzite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni3+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form corner-sharing NiN4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.87 Å) and one longer (1.88 Å) Ni–N bond length. N3- is bonded to four equivalent Ni3+ atoms to form corner-sharing NNi4 tetrahedra.
