This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

There are few/no natural mineral examples for these compounds.
This is likely because all these compounds are in a highly reduced stated and some of them are
not even capable of forming a protective macroscale passivation layer.

Awesome compounds

Titanium:

Silicon (counting silicon as metal here):

For more awesome compounds see: Base materials with high potential

Related: Metallocarbohedryne (titanium carbides)

Compounds that need to be sealed in PPV to be usable

Iron:

  • Fe3C Iron carbide aka cementite aka iron cohenite – ortorhombic – Mohs 5.5 to 6.0 – 7.20 to 7.65g/ccm – metallic luster
  • Iron nitrides – Wikipedia: "Group 7 and group 8 transition metals form nitrides that decompose at relatively low temperatures" Fe2N 400°C
