As many of you know, polymeric nitrogen in the cubic gauche phase has been synthesized at pressures of 115.4 GPa and temperatures of 2000K. Cg-N
demonstrates tremoundous pontential as an energetic matterial with no enviromental toxicity, a detonation velocity over 19km/s and a density of 3.1
g/cm^3, however, it is unstable at ambient conditions. The use of graphene has been proposed for the stabilization of polymeric nitrogen chains, and I
am wondering if graphyne may act as another viable variant of carbon for the stabilization of polymeric nitrogen.
