Main Results:

Zinc cyanamide crystallizes as colorless prisms.
The crystal structure features corner-linked ZnN(4/2) tetrahedra.
The cyanamide anion exists as (CN2)(2-) dumb-bells with specific C and N atom coordination.

Conclusions:

The study successfully grew single crystals of zinc cyanamide.
The detailed crystal structure provides insights into the bonding and coordination within the material.
This structural information is fundamental for further research and potential applications of zinc cyanamide.
