CN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. C(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CN4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C(1) and one N(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C(1) and one N(1) atom.
CN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. C(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms to form corner-sharing CN4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.45 Å) and one longer (1.52 Å) C(1)-N(1) bond length. Both C(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.49 Å. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C(1) and one N(2) atom. The N(1)-N(2) bond length is 1.35 Å. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C(1) and one N(1) atom.
