H2CN5
H2CN5 is a nitrogen-rich insulating compound that exists in a metastable state and is primarily studied for its structural and electronic properties.
About H2CN5
H2CN5 is a complex nitrogen-rich compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits distinct electronic characteristics that distinguish it from typical conductive materials. Its structural configuration is of significant interest for fundamental research into high-nitrogen systems.
Due to its position above the thermodynamic hull, this material is considered metastable or unstable under standard conditions. While it is not currently utilized in mainstream industrial technologies, it serves as a critical subject for theoretical studies regarding the synthesis and stability of nitrogen-heavy molecular frameworks.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for H2CN5, 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.
