CoC2N3 is Potassium Silver Cyanide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_121 space group. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(2) atoms to form edge-sharing CoN6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(2) atom. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one C(1) atom.
