Materials Data on Be(N3O7)2 by Materials Project
Be(NO3)4(NO)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of sixteen nitroxyl molecules and eight Be(NO3)4 clusters. In each Be(NO3)4 cluster, Be2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.63 Å) and two longer (1.68 Å) Be–O bond length. There are two inequivalent N+4.33+ sites. In the first N+4.33+ site, N+4.33+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.25–1.28 Å. In the second N+4.33+ site, N+4.33+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.23–1.34 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+4.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Be2+ and one N+4.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+4.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+4.33+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Be2+ and one N+4.33+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+4.33+ atom.
