Zn2NI crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) and three equivalent I(1) atoms. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing NZn4 tetrahedra. I(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(2) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
Zn2NI crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent N(1) and three equivalent I(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.93 Å) and one longer (1.94 Å) Zn(1)-N(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (3.22 Å) Zn(1)-I(1) bond lengths. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent I(1) atoms. Both Zn(2)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.90 Å. Both Zn(2)-I(1) bond lengths are 3.23 Å. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Zn(1) and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing NZn4 tetrahedra. I(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zn(2) and three equivalent Zn(1) atoms.
