Materials Data on NiC4Br3N by Materials Project
NiBr2(C)3BrCN crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two cyanogen bromide molecules; two propane molecules; and one NiBr2 ribbon oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In the NiBr2 ribbon, Ni2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four Br1- atoms. All Ni–Br bond lengths are 2.33 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ni2+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ni2+ atoms.
