Synthesis and Structure of Three‐Dimensionally Ordered Graphitelike BC ₂ N Ternary Crystals

Abstract

In this article we present the synthesis of three‐dimensionally ordered ternary BC 2 N crystals produced under high‐temperature and high‐pressure conditions. Unit cell dimensions are a = 2.4820 ± 0.0007 Å and c = 6.620 ± 0.003 Å. The composition BC 2 N is derived from Vegard's law and quantitative electron energy loss spectroscopy. The ordered arrangement of atoms in the unit cell is discussed.
