Abstract

Synthesis of phase pure Co3Mo3N and Fe3Mo3N by temperature programmed ammonolysis has been established by XRD and elemental analysis. The ternary nitrides are characterised by a eta-6 structure and low surface area (4-9 m(2) g(-1)). Pseudomorphic transformation of cobalt molybdate prepared using cobalt nitrate generated rod-shaped crystals while the use of iron chloride resulted in Fe3Mo3N aggregates with irregular morphology and wide size distribution. XPS measurements have revealed surface N enrichment relative to the bulk where the passivated samples show a range of oxidation states; Co3Mo3N exhibited Mo2+ and Con+ (0
