Ca2PbN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Ca(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CaN5 square pyramids. Pb(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ca(1) and one Pb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NCa5Pb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-23°.
Ca2PbN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Ca(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CaN5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ca(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.40-2.63 Å. Pb(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Pb(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.25 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Ca(1) and one Pb(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NCa5Pb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 7-23°.
