N2 - A new carbon-nitride-related C2N2(CH2) nanoplatelet was synthesized by subjecting a precursor C3N 4HxOy nanoparticle in a laser-heating diamond anvil cell to the pressure of 40 GPa and temperature of 1200-2000 K. The C and N composition of the quenched sample was determined to be C3N 2 by using an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope attached to a transmission electron microscope. The crystal structure and atomic positions of this C3N2 were obtained through Rietveld analysis of the X-ray diffraction pattern measured using synchrotron radiation. The hydrogen composition was difficult to determine experimentally because of the several-hundred-nanometer dimensions of the sample. Firstprinciples calculation was alternatively used to discover the hydrogen composition. The synthesized C2N2(CH2) was accordingly found to be an orthorhombic unit cell of the space group Cmc21 with lattice constants a = 7:625 Å, b = 4:490 Å, and c = 4:047 Å. If the CH2 atomic unit is replaced with the CN2 atomic unit and the bonding rearranged, the C2N2(CH2) becomes the expected superhard C3N4.
