Mo2(CN2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Mo(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing MoN6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one C(1) atom.
Mo2(CN2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Mo(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing MoN6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.12 Å) and three longer (2.15 Å) Mo(1)-N(1) bond lengths. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both C(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.24 Å. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) and one C(1) atom.
