Protactinium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of protactinium and nitrogen with the chemical formula PaN.[1][2][3]
Synthesis
The compound can be obtained from the reaction of protactinium metal and nitrogen:[4]
- 2Pa + N2 → 2PaN
Also by heating protactinium tetrachloride or pentachloride in ammonia gas.[5]
Physical properties
PaN crystals are of cubic system with Fm3m space group.[6]
