Americium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of americium and nitride with the chemical formula AmN.[1]
Preparation
[edit]Americium can be obtained from the reaction of metallic americium with nitrogen or ammonia at 750–800°C:[2]
- 2Am + N2 → 2AmN
- 2Am + 2NH3 → 2AmN + 3H2[3]
It can also be obtained from the reaction of americium trihydride (AmH3) with nitrogen at 750 °C:[4]
- AmH3 + N2 → AmN + NH3
Chemical properties
[edit]Americium nitride reacts with cadmium chloride to form americium trichloride:[5]
- 2 AmN + 3 CdCl2 → 2 AmCl3 + Cd3N2
