Hochdrucksynthese von BaSr2P6N12 und BaCa2P6N12 und Strukturvergleich der Reihe BaP2N4, BaCa2P6N12 und BaSr2P6N12

High‐Pressure Synthesis of BaSr₂P₆N₁₂ and BaCa₂P₆N₁₂ and Comparison of the Structures of BaP₂N₄, BaCa₂P₆N₁₂, and BaSr₂P₆N₁₂ The novel nitridophosphates BaCa₂P₆N₁₂ and BaSr₂P₆ N₁₂ were obtained by means of high‐pressure high‐temperature synthesis utilizing the multianvil technique (1200 °C, 5 GPa). The complex anion PN₂^?] of the title compound is formally isoelectronic with silica. The crystal structure was solved from powder data and refined by the Rietveld method (BaCa₂P₆N₁₂: , Z = 4, a = 9,9578(2) Å; BaSr₂P₆N₁₂: , Z = 4, 10,0705(2) Å). The crystal structures are derived from that of BaP₂N₄ which is isotypic with a high pressure phase of CaB₂O₄ and BaGa₂S₄. For each compound the ³¹P solid state NMR spectrum yielded a single resonance (BaCa₂P₆N₁₂: 7.4 ppm; BaSr₂P₆N₁₂:3.9 ppm).
