We report the synthesis, structure, and properties of novel bulk rhenium nitrides, hexagonal Re₂N, and Re₃N. Both phases have very high bulk moduli of >400 GPa, similar to the most incompressible binary transition-metal (TM) carbides and nitrides found to date. However, in contrast to other incompressible TM carbides and nitrides, Re₃N is better placed for potential technological applications, as it can be formed at relatively moderate pressures (13--16 GPa) and temperatures (1600--2400 K).
