NaN3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
NaN3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and four longer (2.49 Å) Na(1)-N(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N(2) atoms. All N(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.54 Å. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent N(1) atoms.
