摘要
Unexpected crystal structures: The noble-metal pernitrides OsN2 and IrN2 are found to adopt structure types never before observed in nitrides (see picture; Os/ Ir blue, N green). Furthermore, the crystal structures of RuN2 and RhN2, which have yet to be synthesized, are predicted. A pressure-induced displacive phase transition and a semiconductor-metal transition are predicted for IrN2. (Figure Presented). © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
