Abstract—Techniques for practical preparation of carbon nitride have been developed and tested by analyzing
the currently available data on the methods and approaches to the synthesis of a hypothetical crystalline carbon
nitride with due regard for its theoretical characteristics. The conclusions regarding the prospects of these
approaches to the preparation of stoichiometric carbon nitride have been drawn from data of the study of its
composition, X-ray powder diffraction and microstructural analyses, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.

Key words: nitrides, carbon nitride, carbonitride, diamond-like, pyrolysis of thiocyanates, pyrolysis of
rhodanides, C3N4, sp3-hybridized carbon
