Abstract
Ca5NbN5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to five N3- atoms to form CaN5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent CaN5 square pyramids, corners with three NbN4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CaN4 trigonal pyramid, an edgeedge with one CaN6 octahedra, edges with two CaN5 square pyramids, and edges with four CaN5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ca–N bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.65 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to five N3- atoms to form CaN5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent CaN6 octahedra, corners with three NbN4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CaN4 trigonal pyramid, edges with three CaN5 square pyramids, and edges with four equivalent CaN5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–10°. There are a spread of Ca–N bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.54 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to five N3- atoms to form CaN5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent CaN5 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent NbN4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent CaN4 trigonal pyramids, edges with twomore »
