Ba3CN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing BaN4 trigonal pyramids. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa4C trigonal bipyramids.
Ba3CN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing BaN4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ba(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.73-2.82 Å. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All C(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.40 Å. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa4C trigonal bipyramids.
