Materials Data on TaMoN by Materials Project

Mo(Ta)N crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Mo(Ta)N sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ta is bonded to five equivalent N atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TaN5 square pyramids. There are four shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Ta–N bond lengths. Mo is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. The Mo–N bond length is 2.19 Å. N is bonded to five equivalent Ta and one Mo atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NTa5Mo octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°.
