Infobox references

Cerium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of cerium and nitrogen with the chemical formula CeN.[1][2]

Synthesis

CeN can be obtained by direct chemistry of cerium with nitrogen at 850–900 °C.[3][4]

2Ce + N
2
→ 2CeN

Physical properties

CeN forms a brown powder with a melting point of 2557 °C. The compound is a semi-metallic conductor, stable in dry air.[3]

Uses

CeN can be used to simulate the properties of uranium mononitride (UN).[5]
