Sr3CoN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Sr(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. Co(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sr(1) and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NSr5Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-46°.
Sr3CoN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Sr(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.61-2.80 Å. Co(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All Co(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.76 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sr(1) and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NSr5Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-46°.
