Abstract

A nitride material comprises C.sub.2 N. A method of forming a covalent carbon material includes forming an atomic nitrogen source, forming an elemental reagent source and combining the atomic nitrogen, elemental reagent to form the covalent carbon material and annealing the covalent carbon material. The elemental reagent is reactive with the atomic nitrogen of the atomic nitrogen source to form the covalent carbon material. Annealing the covalent carbon material produces the C.sub.2 N. In one embodiment, essentially all carbon nitride chemical bonds are single or double bonds.
