YWN3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. W(1) is bonded to one N(1), one N(2), and three equivalent N(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing WN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Y(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NY3W trigonal pyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded to three equivalent Y(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NY3W trigonal pyramids. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent W(1) atoms.
YWN3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) and three equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Y(1)-N(1) bond length. All Y(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 2.35 Å. W(1) is bonded to one N(1), one N(2), and three equivalent N(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing WN5 trigonal bipyramids. The W(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.83 Å. The W(1)-N(2) bond length is 1.86 Å. There are two shorter (1.97 Å) and one longer (2.17 Å) W(1)-N(3) bond length. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Y(1) and one W(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NY3W trigonal pyramids.
