A combination of high pressure – high temperature synthesis and laser‐heated diamond anvil cell experiments, using synchrotron X‐ray diffraction has been used to investigate the phases in the Mo 2 N–MoN system under these conditions. Under conditions of high nitrogen activity, δ‐MoN appears to be a limiting phase i.e. there is no evidence for formation of new compounds such as Mo 3 N 4 or Mo 3 N 5 , that are encountered in the Zr–N, Hf–N or Ta–N systems. When γ‐Mo 2 N is heated or prepared under conditions of high N 2 activity, δ‐MoN is formed. The results indicate ( a ) that there is no stable cubic stoichiometric “γ‐MoN” phase formed even under conditions of high pressure – high temperature and high N 2 activity, and ( b ) that no solid solution is formed between γ‐Mo 2 N and δ‐MoN.
