Materials Data on ZnAs2C12(NF)12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zn(CN)6(CN)6(AsF6)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eighteen hydrogen cyanide molecules, six AsF6 clusters, and three Zn(CN)6 clusters. In each AsF6 cluster, As is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There is three shorter (1.77 Å) and three longer (1.78 Å) As–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In each Zn(CN)6 cluster, Zn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent N3- atoms. All Zn–N bond lengths are 2.15 Å. C+3.83+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.16 Å. N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C+3.83+ atom.
