Materials Data on ThCuN2 by Materials Project
ThCuN2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent N3- atoms. All Th–N bond lengths are 2.60 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Cu–N bond lengths are 1.99 Å. N3- is bonded to four equivalent Th4+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing NTh4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–65°.
