Abstract
γ-Strontium carbodiimide, γ-SrNCN, was synthesized from a mixture of strontium subnitride (Sr2N) and tetracyanoethylene (C6N4) at 38 (3) GPa in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. Its crystal structure was solved and refined using synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The new polymorph crystallizes in space group I4/mcm (No. 140), where the Sr2+ and NCN2− packing can be derived from the CsCl (B2) structure type. γ-SrNCN (tI16-SrNCN) is isostructural to tI16-BaNCN and represents the first high-pressure polymorph of SrNCN.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
