Materials Data on Ag3N by Materials Project

Ag3N is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ag1+ sites. In the first Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing AgN4 cuboctahedra. All Ag–N bond lengths are 2.82 Å. In the second Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Ag–N bond lengths are 2.78 Å. N3- is bonded to twelve Ag1+ atoms to form a mixture of face, edge, and corner-sharing NAg12 cuboctahedra.
