Graphitic carbon nitride compounds were prepared by thermal treatment of C–N–H precursor mixtures (melamine C3N6H9, dicyandiamide C2N4H4). This led to solids based on polymerized heptazine or triazine ring units linked −N═ −NH– groups. The H content decreased, and the C/N ratio varied between 0.59 0.70 with preparation temperatures 550 650 °C due increased layer condensation. UV–vis spectra exhibited a strong π–π* transition near 400 nm semiconductor-like band edge extending into visible...

Weak hydrogen bonds, such as O-H···π and C-H···O, are thought to direct biochemical assembly, molecular recognition, chemical selectivity but seldom observed in solution. We have used neutron diffraction combined with H/D isotopic substitution obtain a detailed spatial orientational picture of the structure benzene-methanol mixtures. Our analysis reveals that methanol fully solvates surrounds each benzene molecule. The expected interaction is highly localised directional, hydroxyl bond...

A primary method for the production of 2D nanosheets is liquid-phase delamination from their 3D layered bulk analogues. Most strategies currently achieve this objective by significant mechanical energy input or chemical modification but these processes are detrimental to structure and properties resulting nanomaterials.
