Sulfur nitride may refer to a number of sulfur nitrogen compounds: *

pentasulfur hexanitride The element sulfur exists as many allotropes. In number of allotropes, sulfur is second only to carbon. Greenwood, 652 In addition to the allotropes, each allotrope often exists in polymorphs (different crystal structures of the same covalently ...

, *

tetrasulfur tetranitride Tetrasulfur tetranitride is an inorganic compound with the formula . This gold-poppy coloured solid is the most important binary sulfur nitride, which are compounds that contain only the elements sulfur and nitrogen. It is a precursor to many S-N ...

thiatetrazole A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). Heterocyclic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and ...

, Additionally, some unstable species are known: * sulfur mononitride, SN, analogous to

nitric oxide Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless gas with the formula . It is one of the principal oxides of nitrogen. Nitric oxide is a free radical: it has an unpaired electron, which is sometimes denoted by a dot in its che ...
