Co(CN)2 is high (beta) Cristobalite-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic P-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(2) and one C(1) atom.
