High-Pressure Synthesis of Metal-Inorganic Frameworks Hf4N20 center dot N-2, WN8 center dot N-2, and Os5N28 center dot 3 N-2 with Polymeric Nitrogen Linkers

• Polynitrides are intrinsically thermodynamically unstable at ambient conditions and require peculiar synthetic approaches. Now, a one-step synthesis of metal-inorganic frameworks Hf4N20 center dot N2, WN 8 center dot N2, and Os5N28 center dot 3N2 via direct reactions between elements in a diamond anvil cell at pressures exceeding 100 GPa is reported. The porous frameworks (Hf4N20, WN 8, and Os5N28) are built from transition-metal atoms linked either by polymeric polydiazenediyl (polyacetylene-like) nitrogen chains or through dinitrogen units. Triply bound dinitrogen molecules occupy channels of these frameworks. Owing to conjugated polydiazenediyl chains, these compounds exhibit metallic properties. The high-pressure reaction between Hf and N2 also leads to a non-centrosymmetric polynitride Hf2N11 that features double-helix catenapoly[tetraz-1-ene-1,4-diyl] nitrogen chains [-N-N-N=N-](infinity.)
