Nitrogen valency states

A second doping method is the substitution of an impurity atom with a different valence state for a carbon atom on the surface of a fullerene molecule. Because of the small carbon-carbon distance in fullerenes (1.44A), the only species that can be expected to substitute for a carbon atom in the cage is boron. There has also been some discussion of the possibility of nitrogen doping, which might be facilitated by the curvature of the fullerene shell. However, substitutional doping has not been widely used in practice [21]. 

From a consideration of the valence states of the nitrogen atoms in the carbolines it was argued by Paoloni and Marini-Bettolo that it is unnecessary to consider a structure with charge separation for the... 

The metal is attacked by mineral acids. Reactions with sulfuric and hydrochloric acids produce hydrogen. With nitric acid, no hydrogen is evolved but the pentavalent nitrogen is reduced to nitrogen at lower valence states. 

Fig. 6. Schematic partial density of states scheme for an NaCl-type (binary) compound (with UN as an example) with f electrons delocalized and unhybridized. Uranium is on the left and nitrogen on the right. In ascending order nitrogen valence band f-band tied to the Fermi level the d conduction band. The Fermi level is at zero on the energy scale. The unhybridized band centres, Qi, are shown on the right. This unhybridized model corresponds to the fully ionic model...

A complete and quantitatively uniform ab initio Cl study of all the low-lying valence states of NO+ was carried out as part of the research conducted for this compendium. This study was similar to that carried out for the low-lying valence states of the nitrogen molecule.10 Many of the states are quantitatively similar since NO+ is isoelectronic with N2. 

Ammonia (NH3) is the form in which nitrogen is incorporated into organic materials. Nitrogen exists in the —3 valence state in NH3. Nitrogen itself actually passes through various forms and valence states as a result of its interactions with different living forms.

Bicyclic phosphoranes of type (7) are structurally adapted to be in tautomeric equilibrium with open forms such as (8), in which the phosphorus atom is in valence state 3. The nitrogen atom is planar in (7) but becomes pyramidal in (8) and would be expected to recover its donor properties. Tautomer (8) has never been detected spectroscopically (72TL2969). Through the action of various atoms or cations, the bicyclic phosphoranes can be converted into coordination adducts of tautomer (8). The bidentate character of (8) has been demonstrated by X-ray diffraction of the complex (9) obtained from (7) and Rh(CO)2Cl2 in toluene (79JA2234).
