BaCN2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing BaN6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa3C tetrahedra.
BaCN2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Ba(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing BaN6 octahedra. All Ba(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.83 Å. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both C(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.23 Å. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ba(1) and one C(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NBa3C tetrahedra.
