Praseodymium(III) nitride is a binary inorganic compound of praseodymium and nitrogen. [2] Its chemical formula is PrN. [3] The compound forms black crystals, and reacts with water.

Contents

Preparation

Praseodymium(III) nitride can be prepared by the reaction of nitrogen and metallic praseodymium on heating:

2 Pr + N2 → 2 PrN

It can also be prepared from the reaction of ammonia and praseodymium metal on heating:

2 Pr + 2 NH3 → 2 PrN + 3 H2

Properties

Praseodymium(III) nitride forms black crystals of a cubic system. The space group is Fm3m, [4] with cell parameter a = 0.5165 nm, Z = 4, its structure similar to that of sodium chloride (NaCl).

The compound is readily hydrolyzed with water and reacts with acids.

Applications

The compound is used in high-end electric and semiconductor products, and as a raw material to produce phosphor. Also it is used as a magnetic material and sputtering target material. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nitrogen</span> Chemical element, symbol N and atomic number 7

Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7. Nitrogen is a nonmetal and the lightest member of group 15 of the periodic table, often called the pnictogens. It is a common element in the universe, estimated at seventh in total abundance in the Milky Way and the Solar System. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bond to form N2, a colorless and odorless diatomic gas. N2 forms about 78% of Earth's atmosphere, making it the most abundant uncombined element in air. Because of the volatility of nitrogen compounds, nitrogen is relatively rare in the solid parts of the Earth.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Thorium compounds</span> Chemical compounds

Many compounds of thorium are known: this is because thorium and uranium are the most stable and accessible actinides and are the only actinides that can be studied safely and legally in bulk in a normal laboratory. As such, they have the best-known chemistry of the actinides, along with that of plutonium, as the self-heating and radiation from them is not enough to cause radiolysis of chemical bonds as it is for the other actinides. While the later actinides from americium onwards are predominantly trivalent and behave more similarly to the corresponding lanthanides, as one would expect from periodic trends, the early actinides up to plutonium have relativistically destabilised and hence delocalised 5f and 6d electrons that participate in chemistry in a similar way to the early transition metals of group 3 through 8: thus, all their valence electrons can participate in chemical reactions, although this is not common for neptunium and plutonium.

Praseodymium(V) oxide nitride is a compound of praseodymium in the oxidation state of +5 with the chemical formula PrNO. It was first reported in 2000. However, the compound was not verified to have an oxidation state of +5 until 2017. This compound is produced by the reaction of praseodymium metal and nitric oxide in 4K and solid neon. The crystal structure is linear with the praseodymium forming a triple bond with the nitrogen and a double bond with the oxygen. Calculation shows a significant level of f-orbital covalence of Pr-X bonds.
