Cr(CdN)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Cr(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to one Cr(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NCrCd4 trigonal bipyramids.
Cr(CdN)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Cr(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All Cr(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.76 Å. Cd(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.26 Å) and two longer (2.63 Å) Cd(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded to one Cr(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NCrCd4 trigonal bipyramids.
