Abstract

In terms of application, mixed anion compounds have attracted far less attention than mixed cation systems. Interest in the catalytic properties of nitrides has been driven, in part, by their accessibility through new, improved synthesis routes. Although attention in this area extends beyond simple binary systems, to our knowledge, studies have not yet probed the influence of mixed anion compounds. Accordingly, in this review we describe the structures and synthetic routes to transition metal pnictide-halides, which are predominantly nitride-based. It can be anticipated that some of these materials may have interesting catalytic properties, although they have yet to be explored.

Notes

  1. References to s-block pnictide-halides include [5–8].

  2. References to f-block pnictide-halides include [9, 10].

  3. The stacking sequence has been reversed to emphasise the cubic close packed and hexagonal close packed blocks, two examples of which have been highlighted.
