Frontispiece: A Novel High‐Pressure Tin Oxynitride Sn₂N₂O

Abstract

High‐pressure synthesis of a tin oxynitride Sn2N2O (SNO) is described. A schematic drawing of the large volume press (LVP) (Max Voggenreiter GmbH, mavo press LPQ6‐1500‐100) installed at beamline P61B, PETRA III, DESY, Hamburg is presented along with the high‐pressure anvil assembly at extreme conditions. The SNO crystal structure (space group: Pbcn) of Rh2S3‐type with all Sn atoms in six‐fold coordination is also highlighted [Picture Credit: Stefan Sonntag; Shrikant Bhat @DESY].
