Materials Data on CN6O by Materials Project

Abstract

CN6O is alpha Niobium phosphide-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four CN6O clusters. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N+0.33- and one O2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.41 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.22 Å. There are six inequivalent N+0.33- sites. In the first N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4+ and one N+0.33- atom. The N–N bond length is 1.24 Å. In the second N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two N+0.33- atoms. The N–N bond length is 1.14 Å. In the third N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the fourth N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4+ and one N+0.33- atom. The N–N bond length is 1.25 Å. In the fifth N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two N+0.33- atoms. The N–N bond length is 1.14 Å. In the sixth N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
