Sulfur nitride
Encyclopedia
Sulfur nitride can refer to a number of sulfur nitrogen compounds:
Additionally, some unstable species are known:
- tetrasulfur tetranitrideTetrasulfur tetranitrideTetrasulfur tetranitride is an inorganic compound with the formula S4N4. This gold-poppy coloured solid is the most important binary sulfur nitride, which are compounds that contain only the elements sulfur and nitrogen. It is a precursor to many S-N compounds and has attracted wide interest for...

Additionally, some unstable species are known:
- mononitrogen monosulfideMononitrogen monosulfideMononitrogen monosulfide is an inorganic compound with the formula SN. It is the sulfur analogue of nitric oxide, NO. It can be produced through electrical discharges in mixtures of nitrogen and sulfur compounds, as well as the reaction of nitrogen with sulfur vapor. The valence electrons of this...
