Abstract

The chemical reaction of group-14 elements with molecular nitrogen at pressures above 60 GPa successfully leads to the formation of pyrite-type pernitrides. These new crystalline group-14 elemental pernitrides were found to show a bulk modulus higher than the other known group-14 elemental nitrides. Our results offer significant new progress in the solid-state chemistry of nitrides.
