Theory predicts a very rich high pressure chemistry of hydronitrogens with the existence of many NxHy compounds. The stability of these phases under pressure is being investigated by the compression of N2–H2 mixtures of various compositions. A previous study had disclosed a eutectic-type N2–H2 phase diagram with two stoichiometric van der Waals compounds: (N2)6(H2)7 and N2(H2)2. The structure and pressure induced chemistry of the (N2)6(H2)7 compound have already been investigated. Here, we determine the structure of the N2(H2)2 compound and characterize using Raman spectroscopy measurements the chemical changes under a pressure cycle up to 60 GPa and back to ambient conditions. A N2(H2)2 single crystal was grown from a 1 : 2 N2–H2 mixture and its crystalline structure was solved using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Similar to the (N2)6(H2)7 solid, N2(H2)2 has a remarkable host …
