Binary, ternary, and quaternary carbonitride materials, such as CN x , BCN, SiCN, SiBCN, AlBCN, are of significant industrial interest because of their light weight and multi‐functional properties, combining extreme hardness, oxidation resistance, and chemical inertness. The most exciting material in this family is carbon nitride C 3 N 4 with expected ‘superdiamond’ properties. This report describes new approaches to the preparation of CN x thin films, and nanoscale or bulk solids of C 3 N 4 and BCN.
