Interstitial molybdenum ternary nitrides, M {sub n}Mo{sub 3}N (M = Fe and Co, n = 3; M = Ni, n = 2), can be obtained by heating the molybdate precursors, FeMoO{sub 4}, CoMoO{sub 4} and NiMoO{sub 4} with urea in the 1:12 molar ratio in the 900-1000 deg. C range. Fe{sub 3}Mo{sub 3}N and Co{sub 3}Mo{sub 3}N are obtained in pure form. The nickel nitride has the composition Ni{sub 2}Mo{sub 3}N and therefore is in admixture with nickel. All the nitrides have been characterized by various physical methods.
