Abstract In this paper, the allotropes of nitrogen are summarized and discussed according to the research progress on total-nitrogen substances. The allotropes of nitrogen are classified into four different kinds: molecular nitrogen, polymeric nitrogen, metal nitrogen and cluster nitrogen. The composition, structsure, existence, synthesis and application of various allotropes are discussed comprehensively. Thus, this paper can provide important materials for the teaching and research on element nitrogen.
