Mn(CdN)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one N(2) and three equivalent N(1) atoms. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Cd(2), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMnCd4 trigonal bipyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and two equivalent Cd(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMnCd4 trigonal bipyramids.
Mn(CdN)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Mn(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(2) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. The Mn(1)-N(2) bond length is 1.79 Å. Both Mn(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one N(2) and three equivalent N(1) atoms. The Cd(1)-N(2) bond length is 2.34 Å. There is one shorter (2.34 Å) and two longer (2.38 Å) Cd(1)-N(1) bond lengths. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. Both Cd(2)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. Both Cd(2)-N(2) bond lengths are 2.38 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Mn(1), one Cd(2), and three equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMnCd4 trigonal bipyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to one Mn(1), two equivalent Cd(1), and two equivalent Cd(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NMnCd4 trigonal bipyramids.
