From Triazines to Heptazines: Novel Nonmetal Tricyanomelaminates as Precursors for Graphitic Carbon Nitride Materials
Abstract
The first non-metal tricyanomelaminates have been synthesized via metathesis reactions and characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and vibrational and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of [NH 4 ] 2 [C 6 N 9 H] ( 1 ) ( P 2 1 / c, a = 1060.8(2) pm, b = 1146.2(2) pm, c = 913.32(18) pm, β = 112.36(3)°, V = 1027.0(4) × 10 6 pm 3 ), [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 3 [C 6 N 9 ]·2 H 2 O ( 2 ) ( P 2 1 2 1 2 1, a = 762.12(15) pm, b = 1333.6(3) pm, c = 1856.6(4) pm, V = 1887.0(7) × 10 6 pm 3 ) and [C 3 N 6 H 7 ] 2 [C 6 N 9 H]·2.5 H 2 O ( 3 ) ( P 1̄, a = 1029.5(2) pm, b = 1120.3(2) pm, c = 1120.7(2) pm, α = 104.22(3)°, β = 112.74(3)°, γ = 104.62(3)°, V = 1064.8(4) × 10 6 pm 3 ) are composed of singly protonated ( 1 and 3 ) or nonprotonated ( 2 ) tricyanomelaminate ions, which, together with the respective counterions, form two-dimensional, layered structures ( 1 and 3 ) or a quasi three-dimensional network ( 2 ). Particular emphasis has been placed on the elucidation of the thermal reactivity of the three molecular salts by means of thermal analysis and vibrational and NMR spectroscopy, as well as temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction. The title compounds were found to be promising candidates as molecular CN x precursors for the synthesis of graphitic carbon nitride materials. Upon being heated, ammonium and guanidinium tricyanomelaminate uniformly pass the crystalline, heptazine (C 6 N 7 )-based intermediate melem (C 6 N 7 (NH 2 ) 3 ), which decomposes and forms a semi-amorphous CN x H y material with a pronounced layered structure. Identical pyrolysis products are obtained for the melaminium salt, a classical triazine (C 3 N 3 )-based CN x precursor, after passing an intermediate, possibly cross-linked phase at low temperatures. Preliminary solid-state NMR investigations of the final products best conform to heptazine-based structure models for g-C 3 N 4 that have commonly been rather disregarded in favor of triazine-based ones.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
