Hf2N is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NHf6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°.
Hf2N is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and two longer (2.23 Å) Hf(1)-N(1) bond lengths. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NHf6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°.
