Polymeric nitrogen stabilized on graphyne

Solomon - 2-1-2014 at 17:06

As many of you know, polymeric nitrogen in the cubic gauche phase has been synthesized at pressures of 115.4 GPa and temperatures of 2000K. Cg-N demonstrates tremoundous pontential as an energetic matterial with no enviromental toxicity, a detonation velocity over 19km/s and a density of 3.1 g/cm^3, however, it is unstable at ambient conditions. The use of graphene has been proposed for the stabilization of polymeric nitrogen chains, and I am wondering if graphyne may act as another viable variant of carbon for the stabilization of polymeric nitrogen.
