Intersection of Organic Molecules and Carbon Materials for Sustainable Society

Abstract

We report prediction, synthesis and characterization of new carbon-based materials related to organic molecular materials. Five topics are described: Ferromagnetism of two-dimensional B-C-N systems, comparison between organic molecules and carbon atoms embedded in hexagonal boron nitride, photocatalysis of graphitic carbon nitride, and high-pressure synthesis of polymeric carbon from π-conjugate organic molecules.
