Europium(III) nitride is a black solid that can be prepared by the reaction of metallic europium im a stream of ammonia in corundum boats in fused quartz tubes at 700 °C:[1]

In this reaction, the europium is oxidized and the hydrogen in the ammonia is reduced. Europium(III) nitride shows Van Vleck paramagnetism[2] and crystallises in the rock salt structure.[3][4] Thin films of rare earth nitrides, including europium(III) nitride, temd to form oxides in the presence of oxygen.[5] Europium(III) phosphide can be produced from a solution of europium metal in liquid ammonia with phosphine at -78 °C. This produces hydrogen and first Eu(PH2)2 is formed, but it then decomposes to EuP and PH3.[6][7] It crystallises cubically like NaCl.[8] Pure europium(III) phosphide also shows Van Vleck paramagnetism.[9] Arsenides, antimonides and bismuthides of europium are also known.[10][11]
