Chemical compound

Americium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of americium and nitride with the chemical formula AmN.[1]

Preparation

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

Americium nitride reacts with cadmium chloride to form americium trichloride:[5]

2 AmN + 3 CdCl2 → 2 AmCl3 + Cd3N2
