A new method for the synthesis of metal nitrides using microwave irradiation has been developed and tested. The carbothermal reduction and nitridation is achieved using the respective oxides and amorphous carbon powder as the starting materials. The method can be of general applicability for the preparation of metal nitrides. 31 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
