Thulium nitride

Thulium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of thulium and nitrogen with the chemical formula TmN. It can be prepared by reacting thulium amalgam with nitrogen at high temperature.[1]

Physical properties

Thulium nitride crystallises cubic system with Fm3m space group. It has a sodium chloride structure.[2][3]

Chemical properties

It reacts with Tm2In at 1220 K to form (Tm3N)In.[4]
