Materials Data on ThNF by Materials Project
ThNF crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent N3- and four equivalent F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.36 Å) and three longer (2.39 Å) Th–N bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.62 Å) and one longer (2.68 Å) Th–F bond lengths. N3- is bonded to four equivalent Th4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NTh4 tetrahedra. F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Th4+ atoms.
