Abstract

Drop solution calorimetry in high-temperature oxide melts has been shown to be very useful to study the energetics of nitride formation. This methodology was used to determine the enthalpies of formation from the elements of binary and ternary nitrides in the Ce/Mn/N system. The resulting values in kJ mol-1 are; ΔHfo (CeN) = -340.19 ± 6.80, Δ(Hfo (Mn3N1.95, η-Mn3N2 type) = -192.68 ± 7.57, ΔHfo (Mn6N5.40, 0-Mn6N5 type) = -430.80 ± 10.93 and ΔHfo (Ce2MnN3) = -928.18±9.46. The results show the role of inductive effects in Ce2MnN3 leading to a higher energetic stability compared to binary components.
