Abstract

Rhenium nitride (ReN2) with the hexagonal MoS2 structure was recently synthesized by metathesis reaction under high pressure. Here the calculated elastic and thermodynamic stabilities and chemical bonding show that the MoS2 phase is unstable based on first-principles calculations. Meanwhile, the MoS2-type ReN2 compound may be stabilized by nitrogen-vacancies from X-ray diffraction and supercell calculations. Structure searches identify a monoclinic C2/m phase for ReN2, which is energetically more stable than previous predictions and MoS2 structure over a wide range of pressures. Above 130 GPa, a tetragonal P4/mbm phase becomes favorable from enthalpy calculations. Both phases have superior mechanical properties, and their syntheses would have important applications fundamentally and technologically.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
