Abstract
Alkaline-earth rich (Ca,Th)(N,O) and (Sr,Th)(N,O) can be prepared from reactions of the binary nitrides at 1000 degrees C. Th2N2O impurities in the starting material, Th3N4, resulted in oxygen incorporation in the final compound. The black products crystallize in the rocksalt str ucture type in which the cations are disordered (a = 5.101(5) Angstrom and a = 5.241(2) Angstrom, respectively). They exhibit semiconducting behavior. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
