NaNiN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
NaNiN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N(1) atoms. There are a spread of Na(1)-N(1) bond distances ranging from 2.47-2.87 Å. Ni(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent N(1) atoms. There are two shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (2.06 Å) Ni(1)-N(1) bond length. N(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Na(1) and three equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
