Dypsrosium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of dysprosium and nitride with the chemical formula DyN.[2]
Preparation
Dysprosium can be prepared from the reaction of finely ground dysprosium, dysprosium hydride, or the dysprosium amalgam with nitrogen at 800–1000°C:[3][4]
- 2Dy + N2 → 2DyN
 
Physical properties
Dypsrosium nitride forms gray crystals of cubic system; cell parameter a = 0.490 nm, Z = 4.[1] It is a good conductor of electricity and reacts with water. It is known for its magnetic properties and high melting point.
