Cadmium nitride is a nitride of cadmium with the chemical formula Cd3N2.
Preparation[edit]
Cadmium nitride can be produced by thermal decomposition of cadmium amide at 180 °C:[1]
- 3 Cd(NH2)2 → Cd3N2 + 4 NH3
It can also be produced by thermal decomposition of cadmium azide at 210 °C.[2]
Properties[edit]
Cadmium nitride is a black solid that decomposes on contact with water and air. It will explode when reacting with dilute acids or alkalis. It is a crystal of inverse manganese(III) oxide structure with lattice constant a = 1079 pm.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
