Revision as of 18:53, 1 July 2021

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:

  • TiC Titanium carbide – and ZrC Zirconum carbide
  • TiN Titanium nitride

Silicon (counting silicon as metal here):

  • SiC Silicon carbide
  • Si3N4 Silicon nitride [1]

For more awesome compounds see: Base materials with high potential

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

Aluminum:

  • Al4C3 Aluminum carbide [2] – hydrolyses in contact with water
  • AlN [3] – hydrolyses in contact with water – it's a diamond like compound (a III-VI semiconductor) – highly covalent character

Calcium:

  • CaC2 Calcium carbide [4] – must be kept dry – releases ethyne on contact with water
  • Ca3N2 calcium nitride [5] – highly reactive with water

Magnesium:

  • Mg3N2(s) Magnesium nitide [6] – reacts with water
  • Magnesium carbide ??

Compounds with more rare elements

Nitrides:

Carbides:

4th period:

5th period:

  • ZrC (3532 °C; extremely hard; highly corrosion resistant; very metallic, cubic)
  • Nb2C (3490 °C; extremely hard; highly corrosion resistant)
  • Mo2C (2692 °C) [7]; MoC; Mo3C2 [8]

6th period:

Borides:
