The compound described by NaCN crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. Na(1) is bonded to four equivalent C(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing NaC4N4 hexagonal bipyramids. C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Na(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Na(1) and one C(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
