Abstract
Synthetic strategies guided by quantum chemistry eventually leading to inorganic nitridocarbonates containing the NCN2– complex carbodiimide anion are presented, showing the power of rational approaches in obtaining chemically tailored carbodiimides with exciting materials properties. In addition, we showcase various exemplary compounds and their attributes containing either the carbodiimide [N═C═N]2– or the cyanamide [N≡C–N]2– anion. Infrared, Raman, NMR, Mößbauer and other spectroscopies, in addition to density-functional theory, are discussed, and we also highlight future perspectives of carbodiimide chemistry by focusing on their magnetic, catalytic, and electrochemical behavior, a consequence of their oxide-analogous but more covalent bonding.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
