A new ternary nitride, triiron tritungsten nitride, has been synthesized by the ammonolysis of a metal-organic precursor. The structure, found to be face-centered cubic (Fdm), was determined by powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement of the resulting diffraction pattern. The ideal structure of Fe3W3N is similar to the η-carbide structure exhibited by many ternary transition metal carbides.
