Abstract
Transition metal nitrides have great potential applications as incompressible and high energy density materials. Various polymeric nitrogen structures significantly affect their properties, contributing to their complex bonding modes and coordination conditions. Herein, we first report a new manganese polynitride MnN4 with bifacial trans-cis [N4]n chains by treating with high-pressure and high-temperature conditions in a diamond anvil cell. Our experiments reveal that MnN4 has a P-1 symmetry and could stabilize in the pressure range of 56-127 GPa. Detailed pressure-volume data and calculations of this phase indicate that MnN4 is a potential hard (255 GPa) and high energy density (2.97 kJ/g) material. The asymmetric interactions impel N1 and N4 atoms to hybridize to sp2-3, which causes distortions of [N4]n chains. This work discovers a new polynitride material, fills the gap for the study of manganese polynitride under high pressure, and offers some new insights into the formation of polymeric nitrogen structures.

Abstract
Nitrogen catenation under high pressure leads to the formation of polynitrogen compounds with potentially unique properties. The exploration of the entire spectrum of poly- and oligo-nitrogen moieties is still in its earliest stages. Here, we report on four novel scandium nitrides, Sc2N6, Sc2N8, ScN5, and Sc4N3, synthesized by direct reaction between yttrium and nitrogen at 78-125 GPa and 2500 K in laser-heated diamond anvil cells. High-pressure synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that in the crystal structures of the nitrogen-rich Sc2N6, Sc2N8, and ScN5 phases nitrogen is catenated forming previously unknown N66- and N86- units and ∞ 2 ( N 5 3 - ) anionic corrugated 2D-polynitrogen layers consisting of fused N12 rings. Density functional theory calculations, confirming the dynamical stability of the synthesized compounds, show that Sc2N6 and Sc2N8 possess an anion-driven metallicity, while ScN5 is an indirect semiconductor. Sc2N6, Sc2N8, and ScN5 solids are promising high-energy-density materials with calculated volumetric energy density, detonation velocity, and detonation pressure higher than those of TNT.

Abstract
The recent high-pressure synthesis of pentazolates and the subsequent stabilization of the aromatic [N5]- anion at atmospheric pressure have had an immense impact on nitrogen chemistry. Other aromatic nitrogen species have also been actively sought, including the hexaazabenzene N6 ring. Although a variety of configurations and geometries have been proposed based on ab initio calculations, one that stands out as a likely candidate is the aromatic hexazine anion [N6]4-. Here we present the synthesis of this species, realized in the high-pressure potassium nitrogen compound K9N56 formed at high pressures (46 and 61 GPa) and high temperature (estimated to be above 2,000 K) by direct reaction between nitrogen and KN3 in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell. The complex structure of K9N56-composed of 520 atoms per unit cell-was solved based on synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction and corroborated by density functional theory calculations. The observed hexazine anion [N6]4- is planar and proposed to be aromatic.

High-pressure synthesis of seven lanthanum hydrides with a significant variability of hydrogen content. Nat Commun 2022; 13:6987.

Abstract
AbstractThe lanthanum-hydrogen system has attracted significant attention following the report of superconductivity in LaH10 at near-ambient temperatures and high pressures. Phases other than LaH10 are suspected to be synthesized based on both powder X-ray diffraction and resistivity data, although they have not yet been identified. Here, we present the results of our single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on this system, supported by density functional theory calculations, which reveal an unexpected chemical and structural diversity of lanthanum hydrides synthesized in the range of 50 to 180 GPa. Seven lanthanum hydrides were produced, LaH3, LaH~4, LaH4+δ, La4H23, LaH6+δ, LaH9+δ, and LaH10+δ, and the atomic coordinates of lanthanum in their structures determined. The regularities in rare-earth element hydrides unveiled here provide clues to guide the search for other synthesizable hydrides and candidate high-temperature superconductors. The hydrogen content variability in lanthanum hydrides and the samples’ phase heterogeneity underline the challenges related to assessing potentially superconducting phases and the nature of electronic transitions in high-pressure hydrides.

Abstract
Non-metal nitrides are an exciting field of chemistry, featuring a significant number of compounds that can possess outstanding material properties. These properties mainly rely on maximizing the number of strong covalent bonds, with crosslinked XN6 octahedra frameworks being particularly attractive. In this study, the phosphorus-nitrogen system was studied up to 137 GPa in laser-heated diamond anvil cells, and three previously unobserved phases were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations. δ-P3 N5 and PN2 were found to form at 72 and 134 GPa, respectively, and both feature dense 3D networks of the so far elusive PN6 units. The two compounds are ultra-incompressible, having a bulk modulus of K0 =322 GPa for δ-P3 N5 and 339 GPa for PN2 . Upon decompression below 7 GPa, δ-P3 N5 undergoes a transformation into a novel α'-P3 N5 solid, stable at ambient conditions, that has a unique structure type based on PN4 tetrahedra. The formation of α'-P3 N5 underlines that a phase space otherwise inaccessible can be explored through materials formed under high pressure.

Abstract
The pentazolate anion, cyclo-N5-, has received extensive attention as a new generation of energetic species for explosive or propulsion applications. Binary pentazolate compounds have been obtained under high-pressure conditions and their stability enhancement is crucial for obtaining more competitive high energy density materials (HEDMs). Here, we report the synthesis of a new solid phase of lithium pentazolate (space group P21/c) through the chemical transformation of pure lithium azide under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Upon decompression, the structural transition from P21/c-LiN5 to P21/m-LiN5 at ∼15.6 GPa was observed for the first time. Cyclo-N5- can be traced down to ∼5.7 GPa at room temperature and recovered to ambient pressure under a low-temperature condition (80 K). Our results reveal the enhancement of pentazolate anion stability with the increasing content of metal cations and demonstrate that low temperature is an effective route for the recovery of the pentazolate anion.

Abstract
Nitrogen-rich compounds containing polynitrogen are attractive candidates for high-energy-density materials. In this work, using first-principles calculations and a particle swarm optimization structural search method, four novel nitrogen-rich structures are predicted at high pressures, i.e., two ZnN3phases with the same space groupP1 (low-pressure phase LP-ZnN3and high-pressure phase HP-ZnN3),Cmm2-ZnN5andPcc2-ZnN6, the energy density are estimated to be 1.41 kJ g-1, 1.88 kJ g-1, 4.07 kJ g-1, and 2.60 kJ g-1, respectively. LP-ZnN3(54-72 GPa) and HP-ZnN3(above 72 GPa) have the lowest enthalpies in all known ZnN3phases, and the N6chains in LP-ZnN3polymerize into infinite nitrogen chains in HP-ZnN3at 72 GPa, showing a narrow-band-gap-semiconductor to metallic phase transition. Interestingly,P1-ZnN3has a superconducting transition temperature of 6.2 K at 50 GPa and 16.3 K at 100 GPa. InCmm2-ZnN5andPcc2-ZnN6, nitrogen atoms polymerize into three-dimensional network structures and network layers under high pressures. Those predicted structures may enrich the phase diagram of high-pressure zinc nitrides, and provide clues for synthesis and exploration of novel stable polymeric nitrogen.
