Sr3RuN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Sr(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. Ru(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sr(1) and one Ru(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NSr5Ru octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-45°.
Sr3RuN3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Sr(1) is bonded to five equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.68-2.87 Å. Ru(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All Ru(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.85 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sr(1) and one Ru(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NSr5Ru octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 18-45°.
