CrN2 is quartz (beta) structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. Cr(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. N(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) atoms.
CrN2 is quartz (beta) structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3_221 space group. Cr(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form corner-sharing CrN4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (1.69 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Cr(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cr(1) atoms.
