Reactions between alkaline earth metals or their corresponding nitrides and NaN3as nitrogen donor in cleaned sealed Nb ampoules at different temperatures yields known phases, ‘β-Ca3N2’ and single crystals in the form of transparent, orange plates of Ba5[NbN4]N. The crystal structure of this new compound was determined by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction (C2/m (no. 12), a=1231.7(3),b=1094.6(2),c=853.8(2) pm ,β=113.65(3)° and Z=4). At temperatures ≥1000°C, the available nitrogen apparently reacts with the Nb container walls and intermetallic phases are formed. The crystal structures of AeMg2(MgZn2type with Ae=Ca, Yb, Sr, Eu and Ba) were re-determined by X-ray single crystal structure analyses on crystals obtained in such reactions to ascertain the presence or absence of nitrogen in structural voids. The structures of the ternary nitride and intermetallic phases are described and compared to known compounds.
