A metastable phase of NbN with superconducting Tc=16.4 K was reported recently by Treece and collaborators. The reported structure of the thin film sample deviates from the rocksalt (B1) NbN structure with 25% ordered vacancies on each sublattice (space group Pm3m) and a lattice constant of 4.442 Angstroms. Using full potential electronic structure methods, we contrast the electronic structure with that of B1 NbN. The calculated energy, 1.00 eV/molecule higher than B1 NbN, and calculated lattice constant of 4.214 Angstroms indicate that the new phase must be something other than the ordered stoichiometric Pm3m phase.
