Abstract In the reaction conditions leading to γ‐Li 7 VN 4 , no ordered solid solution γ‐Li 7 VN 4 –Li 2 O seems to exist but rather a mixture of two phases: γ‐Li 7 VN 4 and a lithium vanadium oxynitride with the disordered anti‐fluorite structure. Even though the trend may be different in the case of β‐Li 7 VN 4 –Li 2 O, neutron diffraction experiments would be desirable to confirm/dismiss these assumptions, as they would allow to determine the number of phases and polymorphs present and the degree of Li/V or N/O order, if any.
