This review highlights the use and great potential of liquid metals as exotic and powerful
solvents (ie fluxes) for the synthesis of intermetallic phases. The results presented …

The highly electropositive s-block elements combine with nitrogen in the solid state to form
some of the most ionic nitride compounds known. Also, however, these elements can …

The chemistry of ternary nitrides is reviewed with special focus on developments of the last
two years (1996 and 1997). In particular, structures and properties of ternary and higher …

Recent progress in the area of nitride chemistry has been rapid and incresingly diverse.
Advances in ternary transition metal nitride research have been significant in the last several …

We report the structures of three new alkaline earth metal gallium nitrides synthesized as
crystals from the elements in sealed Nb tubes at 760° C using Na/Sr and Na/Ca melts as …

Studies of the synthesis of solid state nitrides using a Na flux are reviewed. The role and
effect of Na is to solubilize polyatomic species containing nitrogen, and to lower the crystal …

Nitridophosphates and nitridogermanates attract high interest in current research due to
their structural versatility. Herein, the elastic properties of GeP2N4 were investigated by …

Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, die Vorzüge von flüssigen Metallen als Lösungsmittel bei der
Synthese intermetallischer und ähnlich zusammengesetzter Verbindungen aufzuzeigen …

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the α (tetragonal) and β
(orthorhombic) polymorphs of the Sr2GeN2 compound have been examined in detail using …

Two new isostructural Mg-containing quaternary nitrides, Sr (Mg3Ge) N4 and Sr (Mg2Ga2)
N4, were obtained as single crystals from their constituent elements in molten Na. Sr …
