Carbon nitride

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

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]
  • 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.

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

  • dicyanoacetylene - C4N2 or N≡C−C≡C−C≡N, also called carbon subnitride or but-2-ynedinitrile

Dicyanopolyynes

Dicyanopolyynes are compounds with the chemical formula N≡C(−C≡C−)nC≡N (n = 2–10). They are composed of a chain of carbon atoms with alternating single and triple bonds, terminated by nitrogen atoms. Although not polyynes, cyanogen N≡C−C≡N (n = 0) and dicyanoacetylene N≡C−C≡C−C≡N (n = 1) also fit within this series.
