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 + N
2
→ 2AmN
2Am + 2NH
3
→ 2AmN + 3H
2
[3]

It can also be obtained from the reaction of americium trihydride (AmH
3
) with nitrogen at 750 °C:[4]

AmH
3
+ N
2
→ AmN + NH
3

Chemical properties

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

2 AmN + 3 CdCl
2
→ 2 AmCl
3
+ Cd
3
N
2
