The Cyanogen Chloride (CNCl) Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

---

• Note that, unlike some of the other structures listed in Pmmn, here we put the inversion center at the origin.

---

• Prototype: CNCl
• Pearson Symbol: oP6
• Space Group: Pmmn (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 59
• Reference: Wyckoff, Vol. I, pp. 173
• Other compounds with this structure: CNBr
• Primitive Vectors:

  A1	=	a X
  A2	=	b Y
  A3	=	c Z

• Basis Vectors:

  B1	=	+ ¼ A1 + ¼ A2 + z1 A3	=	+ ¼ a X + ¼ b Y + z1 c Z	(2a)	(C)
  B2	=	- ¼ A1 - ¼ A2 - z1 A3	=	- ¼ a X - ¼ b Y - z1 c Z	(2a)	(C)
  B3	=	+ ¼ A1 + ¼ A2 + z2 A3	=	+ ¼ a X + ¼ b Y + z2 c Z	(2a)	(N)
  B4	=	- ¼ A1 - ¼ A2 - z2 A3	=	- ¼ a X - ¼ b Y - z2 c Z	(2a)	(N)
  B5	=	+ ¼ A1 + ¼ A2 + z3 A3	=	+ ¼ a X + ¼ b Y + z3 c Z	(2a)	(Cl)
  B6	=	- ¼ A1 - ¼ A2 - z3 A3	=	- ¼ a X - ¼ b Y - z3 c Z	(2a)	(Cl)
