NaCdN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CdN4 tetrahedra. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NNa3Cd4 hexagonal pyramids.
NaCdN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.47 Å) Na(1)-N(1) bond lengths. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CdN4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cd(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.30-2.43 Å. N(1) is bonded to three equivalent Na(1) and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NNa3Cd4 hexagonal pyramids.
