Materials Data on NaI by Materials Project
NaI is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to six equivalent I1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NaI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Na–I bond lengths are 3.27 Å. I1- is bonded to six equivalent Na1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing INa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
