Atlas: other inorganic nitrogen compounds
Beyond ammonia, oxides, acids, and salts, nitrogen forms nitrides, cyanides, azides, and halogen compounds. These families include useful materials and hazardous substances.
Nitrides as materials
Boron nitride (BN), silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), and titanium nitride (TiN) have distinct structures and uses in ceramics, wear-resistant surfaces, and materials science. Properties depend on composition and form.
Other families need care
Cyanides contain carbon and nitrogen; azides contain three nitrogen atoms. Some compounds are toxic, energetic, or reactive. Nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) has selected industrial roles. This page avoids preparation or handling instructions.

Have a big idea for n2.si?
We expect a substantial offer; low bids will not be considered or answered. Answer two quick questions on the home page to open the English offer form.
A premium offer should be solid like a ceramic nitride, not hazardous like an unlabeled compound.
