LiNH2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1), one H(1), and two equivalent H(2) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Li(1), one H(1), and one H(2) atom. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Li(1) and one N(1) atom.
LiNH2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1), one H(1), and two equivalent H(2) atoms. There are a spread of Li(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.02-2.14 Å. The Li(1)-H(1) bond length is 2.28 Å. There is one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.05 Å) Li(1)-H(2) bond length. N(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Li(1), one H(1), and one H(2) atom. The N(1)-H(1) bond length is 1.03 Å. The N(1)-H(2) bond length is 1.03 Å. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Li(1) and one N(1) atom.
