Abstract: A chemical reaction for the preparation of B-C-N compounds by using carbon tetrachloride(CCl4),boron tribromide(BBr3),lithium nitride(Li3N) and sodium as reactants has been carried out at the temperature of 400°C.Measurements of FTIR,XRD,TEM and EELS show that two kinds of compounds have been formed in the prepared sample.One is hollow sphere-like C-N with an amorphous.structure;the other is piece-like polycrystalline B-C-N with the hexagonal structure.Their determined compositions are close to C3N and BC2N,respectively.
