“…Trigonal planar species are reported for V, Cr, Mn, − Fe, ,− Co, and Ga . However Al, ,, Ti, , Zr, − Hf, , V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, and W prefer higher coordination numbers in nitridometalates with tetrahedral or octahedral coordination environments. In one exception, zirconium, is found in a quadratic pyramidal coordination mode in Ba[ZrN 2 ] …”
