Abstract

The solid state reaction of lithium amide (LiNH2) and sodium amide (NaNH2) leads to the synthesis of the mixed metal amides, Li3Na(NH2)4 and LiNa2(NH2)3; the former being the end member of a solid solution, Li4−yNay(NH2)4 (0 ≤ y ≤ 1.0). The compound Li3Na(NH2)4 is found to be non-stoichiometric between the limits given whereas LiNa2(NH2)3 is stoichiometric; the difference in these two cases is attributed to the Li ion mobility of both compounds.
