Materials Data on RbOsN2 by Materials Project

Abstract

RbOsN2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight N3- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–N bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.37 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven N3- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–N bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.44 Å. There are two inequivalent Os5+ sites. In the first Os5+ site, Os5+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form corner-sharing OsN4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.87 Å) and two longer (1.88 Å) Os–N bond length. In the second Os5+ site, Os5+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form corner-sharing OsN4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Os–N bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.89 Å. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and two equivalent Os5+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Rb1+ and two Os5+ atoms. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Rb1+ and two Os5+ atoms. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Rb1+ and two equivalent Os5+ atoms.
