Materials Data on ZrIN by Materials Project
ZrNI crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one ZrNI sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Zr4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent N3- and two equivalent I1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.17 Å) and two longer (2.18 Å) Zr–N bond lengths. Both Zr–I bond lengths are 2.99 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Zr4+ atoms. I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms.
