ZnSMnn
ZnSMnn is a proposed inorganic material in the zinc-sulfur-nitrogen-manganese system often discussed in speculative or theoretical contexts about multi-anion, transition-metal-doped semiconductors. There is no widely accepted crystal structure or verified synthesis for ZnSMnn, and the compound does not appear as a defined species in major chemical databases. The term is used to denote a quaternary or mixed-anion solid that combines Zn, S, Mn, and N in a single phase, for example in formulas written as ZnS1−xN xMn1−y with variable x and y.
The envisioned structural motifs include zinc-blende or wurtzite-type lattices where Zn2+ is coordinated by S2- and
Synthesis for ZnSMnn is purely speculative. Theoretical routes discuss non-equilibrium approaches such as epitaxial growth by
Predicted properties depend strongly on composition. If realized, ZnSMnn could exhibit a tunable wide bandgap with
