Carbon nitrides are organic compounds consisting only of carbon and nitrogen atoms.
Covalent network compounds
[edit]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]
Azafullerenes
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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.
