Abstract
The structure of NaN was determined in order to test W. H. Zachariasen's prediction (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 53, 2123 (1931)) that the group would be angular with 120° between the N⊖O bonds. Powdered crystal, rotating crystal, and Laue data were used. The lattice is body-centered, orthorhombic, space group , with a unit cell , , containing two molecules. From visually estimated intensities the positions of the atoms in fractions of unit cell dimensions are:
