Mass spectrometry of carbon nitride C3N4

Carbon nitride has been synthesized in macroscopic amounts by means of the original method based on an ecologically safe technology using inorganic initial compounds. The product has been characterized by mass spectrometry (MS), X-ray diffraction, and quantitative chemical analysis. The MS and thermochemical data show that stoichiometry of the samples of carbon nitride obtained using the proposed method corresponds to the empirical formula C3N4.
