Materials Data on AgC4N3 by Materials Project
Ag(CN)3C crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four methane molecules and four Ag(CN)3 clusters. In each Ag(CN)3 cluster, Ag1+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.14 Å) and two longer (2.24 Å) Ag–N bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C2+ sites. In the first C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. In the second C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ag1+ and one C2+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ag1+ and one C2+ atom.
