A high‐pressure high‐temperature synthesis involving initial reaction, nitrogen depletion and annealing yields a new ϵ‐type iron iridium nitride. Energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy of metallographic samples evidence a main phase having a molar metal ratio of Fe:Ir = 2:1 within experimental error. Chemical analyses and thermogravimetric measurements quantify the nitrogen content to 1.07 wt % ( x = 0.24) and 1.2 wt % ( x = 0.27), respectively. Above 750 K, the phase Fe 2 IrN 0.24 decomposes into solid solutions ϵ‐Fe(Ir) and γ‐Fe(Ir) involving the release of N 2 at ambient pressure. Magnetic susceptibility data suggest long‐range antiferromagnetic ordering at T N = 27 K.
