Materials Data on Zn(NiN)2 by Materials Project
Zn(NiN)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Zn(NiN)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ni2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Ni–N bond lengths are 1.75 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form corner-sharing ZnN4 tetrahedra. All Zn–N bond lengths are 2.15 Å. N3- is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Ni2+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms.
