Oligonary Nitrides and Oxonitrides of Si, P, Al, and B in Combination with Rare Earth or Transition Metals as well as Molecular Precursor Compounds with Nitrido Bridges M‐N‐Si (M = Ti, Zr, Hf, W, Sn)

Abstract

Abstract A novel synthetic approach is presented leading to hitherto unknown nitridosilicates, oxonitridosilicates, oxonitridoaluminosilicates, carbidonitridosilicates, as well as nitridoborates and oxonitridoborates of rare earth elements, alkali, and alkaline earth metals. Typically, the respective metals were reacted with silicon diimide, aluminum nitride, or poly(boron amide imide), respectively, under pure nitrogen atmosphere utilizing a radiofrequency furnace. Usually, the compounds are obtained within short reaction periods as coarsely crystalline products. Zink nitridophosphates of the sodalite structure type were obtained by the reaction of phosphorus nitride imide with zinc or zinc chalcogenides, respectively. Several molecular metal silylamides and imides containing nitridobridges between the metals and silicon were obtained by the reaction of differently chlorinated disilazanes with metal chlorides. During these investigations hitherto unknown bis(trimethylsilyl)ammonium salts have been discovered. Furthermore, we report about the synthesis of N‐silyl metal hydrazides.
