Sr3GaN3 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 edge and corner-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. Ga(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 Ga(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NSr5Ga octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-50°.
Sr3GaN3 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 edge and corner-sharing SrN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.55-2.72 Å. Ga(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. All Ga(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.91 Å. N(1) is bonded to five equivalent Sr(1) and one Ga(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NSr5Ga octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-50°.
