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.

Azafullerenes

Cyanofullerenes

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

Cyanogen

Percyanoalkynes, -alkenes and -alkanes

Dicyanopolyynes

Dicyanopolyynes are compounds with the chemical formula. They are composed of a chain of carbon atoms with alternating single and triple bonds, terminated by nitrogen atoms. Although not polyynes, cyanogen and dicyanoacetylene fit within this series.
