NaCrN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NNa3Cr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 64°.
NaCrN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.56 Å) and two longer (2.66 Å) Na(1)-N(1) bond lengths. Cr(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two shorter (1.84 Å) and one longer (1.95 Å) Cr(1)-N(1) bond length. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NNa3Cr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 64°.
