2,4,6-Triazido-1,3,5-Triazine, 2,4,6-Triazidopyrimidine, and 2,4,6-Triazidopyridine as Precursors of Carbon Nitride Materials

Abstract

The thermolysis of 2,4,6-triazido-1,3,5-triazine (I), 2,4,6-triazidopyrimidine (II), and 2,4,6-triazidopyridine (III) and its products were studied by DSC, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The thermal transformations of I gave planar nets formed by polyconjugated C–N bonds arranged into bundle aggregates. The thermolysis product of III consists of low-molecular compounds and has globular morphology. The thermolysis of II resulted in a mixture of products of both types, among which the planar nets were dominant. The relationship between the structure of the products of the thermal transformations of I, II, and III and the kinetic characteristics of these processes was discussed.
