Ba3WN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent N(1) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ba(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa5W octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-42°.
Ba3WN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Ba(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.90-3.12 Å. W(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All W(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.87 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ba(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa5W octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 23-42°.
