Protactinium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of protactinium and nitrogen with the chemical formula PaN. [1] [2] [3]

Contents

Synthesis

The compound can be obtained from the reaction of protactinium metal and nitrogen: [4]

2 Pa + N2 → 2 PaN

Also by heating protactinium tetrachloride or pentachloride in ammonia gas. [5]

Physical properties

PaN crystals are of the cubic system with Fm3m space group. [6]
