A novel transition metal pernitride, CuAl 2 -type VN 2 , has been synthesized at a pressure above 73.3 GPa. The bulk modulus has been determined to be K 0 = 347(12) GPa. By hard X-ray absorption spectrum measurements of VN 2 , the valence state of transition metal ions in pernitrides has been for the first time experimentally reported.
