Chemistry:Carbon nitride

From HandWiki
Short description: Chemical compound made of only carbon and nitrogen
Cyanogen is a 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]

Dicyanopolyynes

Dicyanopolyynes are compounds with the chemical formula N≡C(–C≡C–)
n
C≡N
. 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) fit within this series.
