Abstract

Abstract : For the last 30 years, the lack of a binary phosphorus nitride containing PN6 octahedra formed a scientific chasm between carbon‐group and oxygen‐group nitrides, both featuring a variety of solids with XN6 units (X being a non‐metal element). Now, the discovery of the δ‐P3 N5 and PN2 phosphorus nitrides—formed under high pressure and both composed of the elusive PN6 octahedron—builds a long‐sought‐after bridge between these two groups of nitrides. More information can be found in the Research Article by D. Laniel, F. Trybel, and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202201998 ).
