NaCuO crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Na(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-14°.
NaCuO crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Na(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.33 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) Na(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.83 Å. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ONa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-14°.
