Nitrogen chemical?

nh3? not mostly, but definitely there.

not many Nitrogen compounds are liquid at room temperature, and the majority of the ones that are, are also very dangerous, and I'm searching right now to try and find one that is composed mostly of Nitrogen and not finding much luck, but one that is liquid, but not a majority Nitrogen compound, is Hydrogen Cyanide. A number of cyanide (CN) compounds exist, and if you keep it cold it'll stay liquid (becomes gaseous at a temp a little warmer than room temp.).
I'm interested in what you are looking for here. Ammonia (NH3) is probably the better bet, it's much safer to work with, although depending on the uses and the reasons for needing the Nitrogen can also produce toxic vapors. But acquiring NH3 basically means purchasing household ammonia, which is a mostly water low-concentration to keep it liquid.

ammonia is mostly nitrogen...
although it boils at -33 C.

Gosh darn it... I hadn't realised that it would be a gas above its boiling point...

Is a solid.
I can think of two more compounds which come closer to being liquid at room temp, but none that are actually liquid at room temp.

but is not mostly. It's HNO3
So, SagaLore, are you also okay with soluble salts? That opens up the options a good deal as far as I can tell.
But, we really need a little help here. How will you use the salts? Make a water-based solution? Or place the salts directly into a liquid chemical to react with?

HNO3 isn't mostly nitrogen and the salts are both solids. Although 70% conc nitric acid is fun...

Well so far I've looked up Ammonium Nitrate and Nitric Acid, and I'm realizing that these are super dangerous and probably not my best bet...
Looking at their molecular pictorial representations, I also see that the N is typically the base for a lot of non-N atoms. There isn't anything that uses N chains, kind of like C chains?

All the nitrogen compounds are pretty nasty, some are toxic, some are very very toxic and some are explosive, then you have the ones which are really really toxic and explosive.

You made that too easy for him!
The other possibility is Hydrazoic acid (N3H).
**WARNING** Hydrazoic acid extremely explosive liquid at room temperature and pressure.
Hydrazine isn't much better as it is highly toxic and unstable, although it is used in rockets.

They are both solids that aren't mainly nitrogen was the implied point. Sorry if it didn't come across that way.
I like the idea though, as at least they are reasonably safe...
Edit: If we are suggesting solids that are mostly nitrogen, I go with sodium azide - NaN3.
Guess what its highly toxic, dangerous for the environment and unstable too.
SagaLore do you see a pattern emerging here?
