Synthesis and structure of new mixed alkaline-earth nitridomolybdates and nitridotungstates, (Ba,Ca)3[MN4] (M = Mo, W)†
Abstract
New molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) nitrides were synthesised by the reaction of barium nitride and calcium nitride with either molybdenum or tungsten foils at high temperature in sealed stainless steel crucibles. The reactions yielded single crystalline products determined by
