Nitride chloride explained

A chloride nitride is a mixed anion compound containing both chloride (Cl) and nitride ions (N3−). Another name is metallochloronitrides. They are a subclass of halide nitrides or pnictide halides.[1]

The group 4 element chloride nitrides can be intercalated by alkali metals that supply extra electrons, and other molecules such as from solvents like tetrahydrofuran, yielding layered substances that are superconductors. A superconductor transition temperature Tc of 25.5K has been achieved.[2]

Production

Nitride chlorides may be produced by heating metal nitrides with metal chlorides. The ammonolysis process heats a metal chloride with ammonia.[3] A related method heats a metal or metal hydride with ammonium chloride. The nitrogen source could also be an azide or an amide.
