Materials Data on RuN2 by Materials Project
RuN2 is Marcasite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ru6+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form RuN6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent RuN6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent NRu3N tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent RuN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 68°. There are two shorter (2.08 Å) and four longer (2.12 Å) Ru–N bond lengths. N3- is bonded to three equivalent Ru6+ and one N3- atom to form distorted NRu3N tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent RuN6 octahedra, corners with thirteen equivalent NRu3N tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NRu3N tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 62–66°. The N–N bond length is 1.34 Å.
