Abstract
Spinel tin nitride (Sn3N4) was prepared by high‐pressure solid‐state metathesis reactions. Tin tetraiodide was reacted with lithium nitride and ammonium chloride in a piston–cylinder apparatus at 623 K and 2.5 GPa. Powder X‐ray diffraction combined with Rietveld refinement confirmed the spinel structure, with a lattice constant of a= 9.0144(1) Å. Raman spectroscopy revealed five active vibrational modes at 160, 252, 416, 524, and 622 cm−1, which are consistent with the spinel structure. Mid‐infrared spectroscopy exhibited only a Sn–N stretching mode at 547 cm−1. Transmission electron microscopy was used to reveal particle size and morphology. Electron probe microanalysis was used to verify the elemental composition.
