Materials Data on Cr3N4 by Materials Project
Abstract
Cr3N4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Cr4+ sites. In the first Cr4+ site, Cr4+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CrN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–63°. There are a spread of Cr–N bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.19 Å. In the second Cr4+ site, Cr4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six N3- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–N bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.17 Å. In the third Cr4+ site, Cr4+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CrN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–63°. There are a spread of Cr–N bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.06 Å. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Cr4+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded to five Cr4+ atoms to form distorted NCr5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent NCr4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent NCr4 trigonal pyramids, edges with four equivalent NCr5 square pyramids, and edges with three equivalent NCr4 trigonal pyramids.more »
