Synthesis of a new boron carbonitride with a B4C-like structure from the thermolysis of N-alkylated borazines

Rik Brydson, Howard Daniels, Mark A. Fox, Robert Greatrex and Christopher Workman


Thermolysis of N-trialkyl borazines at 500 °C produces homogeneous, amorphous boron carbonitride phases, whose compositions are dependent upon the borazine substituent, and whose structures are similar to that of icosahedral boron carbide, B4C.
