MgCuN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NMg4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-63°.
MgCuN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Mg(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Mg(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.15-2.23 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.01 Å. N(1) is bonded to four equivalent Mg(1) and two equivalent Cu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NMg4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-63°.
