About C4N24O4
C4N24O4 is a complex inorganic compound composed of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. As a wide-gap insulator, it exhibits electronic properties typical of materials that do not conduct electricity under standard conditions.
Due to its position above the thermodynamic hull, this material is considered metastable. It represents a specialized area of study for researchers investigating high-nitrogen systems and the synthesis of unconventional molecular architectures.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for C4N24O4, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
