Two novel yttrium nitrides, YN6and Y2N11, were synthesized by direct reaction between yttrium and nitrogen at 100 GPa and 3000 K in a laser‐heated diamond anvil cell. High‐pressure synchrotron single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction revealed that the crystal structures of YN6and Y2N11feature a unique organization of nitrogen atoms—a previously unknown anionic N18macrocycle and a polynitrogen double helix, respectively. Density functional theory calculations, confirming the dynamical stability of the YN6and Y2N11compounds, show an anion‐driven metallicity, explaining the unusual bond orders in the polynitrogen units. As the charge state of the polynitrogen double helix in Y2N11is different from that previously found in Hf2N11and because N18macrocycles have never been predicted or observed, their discovery significantly extends the chemistry of polynitrides.
