The compound described by Co4SnN4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. In the second Co site, Co(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one N(3) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the third Co site, Co(3) is bonded to one N(3), one N(4), and two equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CoN4 trigonal pyramids. In the fourth Co site, Co(4) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one N(1), one N(3), and two equivalent N(4) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one N(2) and one N(4) atom. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded to one Co(1), one Co(4), and two equivalent Co(3) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NCo4 trigonal pyramids. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Co(1), two equivalent Co(2), and one Sn(1) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Co(1), one Co(2), one Co(3), and one Co(4) atom. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Co(3), two equivalent Co(4), and one Sn(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
