Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element. Researchers from Justus Liebig University, ...

However, it is much more challenging to transform nitrogen into a BP structure than the other VA elements because nitrogen forms N 2 molecules with extremely strong triple chemical bonds. Even ...

Theory predicts that, in a pressure range between 50 and 94 GPa, diatomic nitrogen can be transformed into a non-molecular framework or polymeric structure with potential use as a high-energy ...
