Interfacial Synthesis of Conjugated Two-Dimensional N-Graphdiyne

Abstract

We explored the interfacial synthesis of 2D N-graphdiyne films at the gas/liquid and liquid/liquid interfaces. Triazine- or pyrazine-based monomers containing ethynyl group were polymerized through the Glaser coupling reactions at interfaces. Several layered, highly ordered and conjugated 2D N-graphdiyne were obtained. Their structures were characterized by TEM, SEM, AFM, XPS, and Raman spectra. Thin films with minimum thickness of 4 nm could be prepared.
