The new layered oxonitridosilicate EuSi2O2N2 has been synthesized in a radio‐frequency furnace at temperatures of about 1400 °C starting from europium(III) oxide (Eu2O3) and silicon diimide (Si(NH)2). The structure of the yellow material has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analys...
