Materials Data on HfBrN by Materials Project
HfNBr crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of three HfNBr sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Hf4+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N3- and three equivalent Br1- atoms. There are three shorter (2.14 Å) and one longer (2.16 Å) Hf–N bond lengths. All Hf–Br bond lengths are 2.89 Å. N3- is bonded to four equivalent Hf4+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NHf4 tetrahedra. Br1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hf4+ atoms.
