KN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. K(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to one N(2) and five equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NK5N2 square pyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one K(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
KN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. K(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to one N(2) and five equivalent N(1) atoms. The K(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.79 Å. There are a spread of K(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.78-3.16 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to five equivalent K(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NK5N2 square pyramids. Both N(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.58 Å. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one K(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
