Co2(CN2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoN6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one C(1) atom.
Co2(CN2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoN6 octahedra. There are three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (2.01 Å) Co(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 distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Co(1) and one C(1) atom.
