VCN2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing VN6 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one C(1) atom.
VCN2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. V(1) is bonded to six equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing VN6 octahedra. All V(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.12 Å. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N(1) atoms. Both C(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 1.24 Å. N(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent V(1) and one C(1) atom.
