Considering other families of similar compounds, the contributions given by Guillermet and Frisk (1992), Guillermet and Grimvall (1991) (cohesive and thermodynamic properties, atomic average volumes, etc. of nitrides, borides, etc. of transition metals) are other examples of systematic descriptions of selected groups of phases and of the use of special interpolation and extrapolation procedures to predict specific properties.

The thermodynamic properties of hexagonal AIN and cubic transition metal nitrides and carbides are known, but for the calculation of the ranges of metastability of the cubic and hexagonal phases in the AlN-MeN or AlN-MeC systems, the energy differences for the transitions from the stable to the metastable structures, e.g. MeNj i, —> MeN and AlNi, —> AlN b primary importance. In addition, the... 

There are three nitrides which are considered to be equilibrium phases W2N, WN, and WN2. However, no reversible equilibrium transformation has been reported for any of these phases [4.27]. In addition, twelve other phases have been quoted. Thermodynamic properties of the W-N system are reported elsewhere [4.28].

A result of such thermodynamic properties is that generally nitrides are refractory in the sense of being difficult to sinter and to crystallize, yet at the same time they have high dissociation pressures. Nitride chemistry is also made more difficult by the fact that many nitrides readily react with water (or moist air) ultimately to form hydroxides and ammonia. It is almost certainly true that many of the nitrides reported in the older literature contain significant amounts of O and/or H.

Thermodynamic properties of superhard materials produced from the dense modifications of boron nitride, especially of p-BN [7 to 9], have also been studied. The data for Cpfor Kiborit correspond closely to those of p-BN single crystals as given in Table 4/2. Also the Debye temperature of Kiborit [8] (1680 70 K) corresponds to the value for p-BN [6] see [9] for data up to 1400 K.
