Materials Data on ZnB2(CN)8 by Materials Project
(B)2Zn(CN)6(CN)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two boron molecules, two hydrogen cyanide molecules, and one Zn(CN)6 cluster. In the Zn(CN)6 cluster, Zn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent N3- atoms. All Zn–N bond lengths are 2.16 Å. C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.16 Å. N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C2+ atom.
