Cyanabit

Cyanabit is a hypothetical chemical compound with the molecular formula C3N. Its structure is not definitively known, and it remains a subject of theoretical investigation. The name "cyanabit" suggests a close relationship to cyanogen (C2N2) and other nitrogen-carbon compounds. Research into such simple nitrogen-carbon molecules is often driven by their potential relevance in astrophysics, particularly in the formation of complex organic molecules in interstellar clouds, and in the development of novel materials.

The theoretical stability and bonding within cyanabit are complex and have been explored through computational chemistry. Different structural isomers, such as linear or cyclic arrangements of carbon and nitrogen atoms, have been proposed and analyzed for their relative energies and reactivity. The presence of multiple bonds and lone pairs on the nitrogen atoms contributes to its predicted chemical behavior. However, experimental synthesis and characterization of cyanabit have not been reported, making its existence purely speculative at this time. Future research may focus on developing synthetic routes or identifying potential environments where such a molecule could form and persist.
