Materials Data on Li(NO)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li(N2O)2(NO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight nitrous acid molecules and four Li(N2O)2 clusters. In each Li(N2O)2 cluster, Li1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Li–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. There are two inequivalent N+1.83+ sites. In the first N+1.83+ site, N+1.83+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one N+1.83+ and one O2- atom. The N–N bond length is 1.17 Å. The N–O bond length is 1.26 Å. In the second N+1.83+ site, N+1.83+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+1.83+ atom. O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and one N+1.83+ atom.
