Abstract
In this study, the reactivity of bulk lattice nitrogen within the filled β-Mn structured Ni2Mo3N phase has been investigated by application of powder neutron diffraction and heterolytic nitrogen isotopic exchange measurements. In contrast to Co3Mo3N, despite the similarity in the N immediate local environment comprising NMo6 octahedra, its reactivity is found to be limited and this lower reactivity was maintained upon the introduction of a significant proportion of cobalt to yield its filled β-Mn structured CoNiMo3N quaternary nitride counterpart.
