Interpnictogen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Structure of monophosphorus mononitride (PN).

The pnictogens react with each other to form interpnictogen compounds.

Phosphorus pnictides

  • Monophosphorus mononitride (PN), an off-white to yellow-orange solid which decomposes at 800°C[1]
  • Triphosphorus pentanitride (P3N5), a white solid which decomposes at temperatures greater than 850°C

Arsenic pnictides

  • Arsenic nitride (AsN), which exists in the solid state as an oligomer, (AsN)x[2][3]
  • Arsenic phosphide (AsP3), which has a tetrahedral structure similar to that of white phosphorus, with an arsenic atom at one vertex of the tetrahedron and phosphorus atoms at the other three.[4]

Antimony pnictides

Bismuth pnictides

  • Bismuth nitride (BiN)[11]
  • Many "alloys" of bismuth and antimony in different concentrations with semimetallic bonding, BixSby[12]
