Carbon nitride

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cyanogen is a carbon nitride.

Carbon nitrides are compounds consisting only of carbon and nitrogen atoms. Carbon nitrides are also known as organic semiconductors with a band gap of 2.7 eV. 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]

Covalent network compounds

  • 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]
  • C3N5 - a combined triazole and triazine framework.[3]
  • MCN-12 (C3N6) and MCN-13 (C3N7).[4]

Azafullerenes

  • Azafullerenes are a class of heterofullerenes in which the element substituting for carbon is nitrogen.[5] Examples include (C59N)2 (biazafullerenyl),[6] 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.
