Carbon nitride

Chemical compound made of only carbon and nitrogen From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carbon nitride

Carbon nitrides are organic compounds consisting only of carbon and nitrogen atoms.

Thumb
Cyanogen is a carbon nitride.

Covalent network compounds

These materials are organic semiconductors. Due to its hydrogen-bonding motifs and electron-rich properties, this carbon material is considered a potential candidate for material applications in carbon supplementation.[1]

  • Beta carbon nitride - a solid with a formula β-C3N4, which is predicted to be harder than diamond.
  • Graphitic carbon nitride - g-C3N4, with important catalytic and sensor properties.[2]
  • Dicyanodiazomethane (NC)2C=N=N, the only C3N4 isomer studied experimentally
  • Tricyanamide N(CN)3 - C3N4 monomer (has never been prepared yet)
  • Dicyanocarbodiimide NC−N=C=N−CN - another C3N4 monomer (was detected in products of photolysis of triazido-s-triazine).[3]
  • C3N5 - a combined triazole and triazine framework.[4]
  • MCN-12 (C3N6) and MCN-13 (C3N7).[5]

Azafullerenes

  • Azafullerenes are a class of heterofullerenes in which the element substituting for carbon is nitrogen.[6] Examples include (C59N)2 (biazafullerenyl),[7] C58N2 (diaza[60]fullerene), C57N3 (triaza[60]fullerene) and C48N12.

Cyanofullerenes

  • Cyanofullerenes are a class of modified fullerenes in which cyano- groups are attached to a fullerene skeleton. These have the formula C60(CN)2n, where n takes the values 1 to 9.

Cyanogen

  • Cyanogen - C2N2 (N≡C−C≡N)
  • Isocyanogen - C2N2 (C≡N+−C≡N)
  • Diisocyanogen - C2N2 (C≡N++N≡C)
  • Paracyanogen - a cyanogen polymer, (NCCN)n
  • Paraisocyanogen - a cyanogen polymer, (CNCN)n
