Carbon nitride

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

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 are composed of a chain of carbon atoms with alternating single and triple bonds, terminated by nitrogen atoms.

Although not a polyyne, dicyanoacetylene (N≡C−C≡C−C≡N) fits within this series.

Cyanogen is a carbon nitride.
