RbC2N3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent N(2), and four equivalent N(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(2) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(2) and one N(3) atom. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one C(1), and one C(2) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and one C(2) atom.
RbC2N3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent N(2), and four equivalent N(3) atoms. Both Rb(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Both Rb(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 3.24 Å. There are two shorter (3.15 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Rb(1)-N(3) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(2) atom. The C(1)-N(1) bond length is 1.18 Å. The C(1)-N(2) bond length is 1.31 Å. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(2) and one N(3) atom. The C(2)-N(2) bond length is 1.30 Å. The C(2)-N(3) bond length is 1.19 Å.
