Ba3YN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. Y(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 Y(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NBa4Y trigonal bipyramids.
Ba3YN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Ba(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.63-2.95 Å. Y(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All Y(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and one Y(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NBa4Y trigonal bipyramids.
