The structure of a nitride ofthe stoichiometry Ca2N has been determinedfrom single-crystal X-ray data. Dicalcium nitride is rhombohedral with unit-cell dimensions a= 6.603 Á, a= 31 59', Dm= 2.17 g cm-3, Z= 1, X> 0= 2.18 g cm-3, the space group being R3m. Full-matrix least-squares refinement has reached R= 0.13 for 71 visually estimated reflections. Ca2N has a layer structure of the anti-CdCh type. The layers are widely separated, their closest approach being a Ca-Ca distance of 4.35 A, much larger than those in the metal. The nitrogen atoms lie at centers of symmetry, within the layers, and have distorted octahedral coordination. The electrical properties of Ca2N are discussed inrelationship to the structure and with reference to other M2X compounds.
