Ba(BeN)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Be(1) and eight equivalent N(1) atoms. Be(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Be(1) atoms.
Ba(BeN)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Be(1) and eight equivalent N(1) atoms. All Ba(1)-Be(1) bond lengths are 3.07 Å. All Ba(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Be(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent N(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.64 Å) and two longer (1.68 Å) Be(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1) and three equivalent Be(1) atoms.
