CoNC crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. Co(1) is bonded to three equivalent C(1) and three equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoC3N3 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Co(1) and one C(1) atom.
