Materials Data on Zr2N by Materials Project
Zr2N is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent N atoms. There are one shorter (2.27 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Zr–N bond lengths. N is bonded to six equivalent Zr atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing NZr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 47°.
