Transition metal nitrides are technologically important materials. An alternative route to high‐temperature preparation by direct nitridation or chemical vapor deposition is rapid solid‐state synthesis, a highly exothermic self‐propagating reaction. The synthesis of molybdenum nitride powder, an effective catalyst for hydro‐desulfurization and hydro‐denitrogenation of hydrocarbons, via a solution process of the sol‐gel type is reported. This first preparation of a transition metal hydride at low temperatures from solution extends the versatile chemistry of interconversions among various metal–nitrogen containing complexes.
