Because of its chemical nature, nitrides are usually more challenging and costly to synthesize. The development of new low-temperature precursors for direct syntheses of ternary nitrides through conventional solid state methods will not only expand this class of materials but also be a good practical approach in the future. We have carried a systematic study and search of suitable solid state precursors for this purpose. Various low temperature precursor methods have been used for preparing selected transition series of metalate, carbonate, hydroxide, and cyanide solid solution precursors. With each group of the precursors, direct ammonolysis with various experimental conditions have been carefully studied. The results proved that the amorphous or metastable solid solution precursor was more susceptible to form nitride by the ammonia treatment than the crystalline materials.
