Extended solids composed of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (CNP) are of significant interest due to computed hard and strong material properties. Previous attempts to synthesize CNP materials using molecular precursors have required the concomitant elimination of gaseous by-products with the formation of new bonds. By contrast, we have undertaken an orthogonal synthetic approach to CNP materials through the use of phosphorus tricyanide as a molecular precursor by means of increased temperature and pressure conditions and without evolution of gaseous by-products. The resulting properties of the synthesized CNP materials will be reported herein.
