Phosphorus mononitride

Space-filling model of the PN molecule
Phosphorus mononitride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PN. Containing only phosphorus and nitrogen, this material is classified as a binary nitride.
It is the first identified phosphorus compound in the interstellar medium.[1]
It is important molecule in interstellar medium and the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.[2]
