Zr3N2 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NZr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-52°.
Zr3N2 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.27 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Zr(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing NZr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-52°.
