Abstract

A new oxynitride, Ba₃ZnN₂O, was prepared as single crystals by slow cooling from 750°C using a starting mixture of Ba, ZnO, NaN₃ and Na. The NaN₃ and Na were respectively the nitrogen source and flux for the crystal growth. The structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and is tetragonal, space group P4/mmm with Z = 1, a = 4.088(1), c = 9.272(2) Å, and R1 = 0.0288. The structure is composed of {Ba₂ZnN₂} units and {BaO} layers. The zinc atom is linearly coordinated by two nitrogen atoms to form a nitridometallate anion, [N=Zn=N]^4-, as in Ba₂ZnN₂.
