Abstract

(CN2)4NO3 is Iron Boride structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four nitric acid molecules and four CN2 clusters. In each CN2 cluster, there are four inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N+1.11- atoms. All C–N bond lengths are 1.36 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N+1.11- atoms. All C–N bond lengths are 1.36 Å. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N+1.11- atoms. All C–N bond lengths are 1.36 Å. In the fourth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N+1.11- atoms. There are a spread of C–N bond distances ranging from 1.33–1.38 Å. There are eight inequivalent N+1.11- sites. In the first N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. In the third N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the fourth N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the fifth N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. In the sixth N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. In the seventh N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. In the eighth N+1.11- site, N+1.11- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
