The compound Na2ZnV2O7 with an åkermanite-type structure has been synthesized. It has a tetragonal unit cell, a=8.2711(4), c=5.1132(2) Å, and crystallizes with P-421m symmetry, Z=2. Its crystal structure has been refined from a combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. The structure contains layers of corner-sharing VO4 and ZnO4 tetrahedra, the former in pairs forming pyrovanadate V2O7 units. The sodium atoms are positioned between the layers, with a distorted antiprismatic coordination of oxygen atoms.

Reaction of Ba3N2 with CeN in the stoichiometric ratio 1:3 at 850 °C under an atmosphere of N2 followed by quenching yields air and moisture sensitive BaCeN2. The product crystallizes isotypically to β-RbScO2 with the anti-TiP type structure in the hexagonal space group P63/mmc with a = 365.06(2), c = 1266.03(3) pm, Z = 2. The structure was determined using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. In the structure the Ba2+ cations occupy trigonal prismatic holes with distances Ba-N = 288(1) pm while the Ce atoms are in octahedral positions with distances C e -N = 242.4(8) pm
