YReN3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent N(1) atoms. Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ReN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 24°. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Re(1) atoms.
YReN3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent N(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.35 Å) and six longer (2.77 Å) Y(1)-N(1) bond lengths. Re(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ReN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 24°. All Re(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Re(1) atoms.
