abstract = {High-energy-density materials (HEDMs) are crucial in
various applications, from energy storage to defense
technologies. Transition metal polynitrides are promising
candidates for HEDMs. Using single-crystal synchrotron X-ray
diffraction, we investigated the crystal structures of
niobium nitride, specifically Nb$_2$N$_3$ and NbN$_2$, under
high-pressure conditions of up to 86 GPa. At higher
pressures, niobium polynitrides NbN$_4$ and NbN$_5$ were
observed to be stable from 100 to 120 GPa, which feature
low-order nitrogen bonding. The low-order bonded nitrogen in
NbN$_4$ and NbN5 forms multiple polynitrogen anions at
megabar pressure ranges. In the Nb–N system, we observed
an increasing coordination number of metal–nitrogen as
pressure increased. These structures were supported by
density functional theory (DFT) calculations and Raman
spectroscopy.},
