Metal-Dinitridocarbonates have shown to exist in combinations with various metals of the periodic system of elements (PSE). The objective of this research is to develop new compounds, which lead to further understanding of basic science, and are of potential relevance as applied systems. To achieve this goal, we will steadily improve solid-state metathesis (SSM) reactions which can facilitate target-orientated preparations when controlled by (in situ) thermal analysis.In the light of existing compounds, we will focus on three areas that are not yet established: a) complex metal cyanamides (M(NCN)6/nWtal-) as framework compounds, b) metal carbodiimide-carbides (M-(CN2)-(C2)) with potentially interesting electric and magnetic properties, and c) metal carbodiimide-phosphates (M-(CN2)-(PO4)) with optical properties and potential lithium ionic conductivity.
