KCN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. K(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing KC4N4 hexagonal bipyramids. C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one C(1) atom.
KCN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. K(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing KC4N4 hexagonal bipyramids. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and two longer (3.06 Å) K(1)-C(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.95 Å) and two longer (2.97 Å) K(1)-N(1) bond lengths. C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. The C(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.18 Å. N(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one C(1) atom.
