KNiN crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent N(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to six equivalent K(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
KNiN crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. K(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), six equivalent Ni(1), and three equivalent N(1) atoms. Both K(1)-K(1) bond lengths are 3.13 Å. There are a spread of K(1)-Ni(1) bond distances ranging from 3.12-3.55 Å. There are two shorter (2.89 Å) and one longer (3.02 Å) K(1)-N(1) bond length. Ni(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to six equivalent K(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Ni(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.72 Å. N(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
