So far, all efforts to generate, isolate and characterize heterofuUerenes via Kratsch-mer-Huffman vaporization of graphite in the presence of hetero-element-containing compounds such as boron nitride (BN) or cyanogen (CN)2 have failed. An alternative route for the direct formation of heterofuUerenes is cluster rearrangement within exohedral fullerene derivatives such as iminofullerenes and azafuUeroids. The first hints of success by this approach were obtained from mass spectrometry investigations of the cis-l-diazabishomo[60]fullerene 3 [12], the n-butylamine adduct 4 [12] the 1,2-epiminofullerene 5 [11] and the cluster opened ketolactam 6 [2].

A strong base. Vigorous reaction with 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene has caused many industrial explosions and forms the extremely toxic 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin. Mixmres with aluminum + arsenic compounds form the poisonous gas arsine. Potentially explosive reaction with bromine, 4-chlorobutyronitrile, 4-chloro-2-methylphenol (in storage), nitrobenzene + heat, sodium tetrahydroborate, 2,2,2-trichloroethanol, zirconium + heat. Reacts to form explosive products with ammonia + silver nitrate (forms silver nitride), N,N -bis(trinitroethyl)urea (in storage), cyanogen... 

Carbon forms a nitride, cyanogen, which is related to hydrogen cyanide. Both cyanogen and hydrogen cyanide are potential fuels, but both are extremely toxic and can be rejected based on the third criterion. Carbon disulfide is a room temperature liquid with fuel properties. It is less toxic than cyanogen, but is sufficiently toxic to be rejected because of the third criterion. When it bums, it produces large amounts of toxic sulfur dioxide. Nitrogen sulfide is an explosive solid. 

Usually a synthesis of heterofuUerenes by simply reacting the carbonaceous starting material with a source of the respective heteroelement does not succeed. The reaction of graphite with boron nitride or cyanogen (CN)2, for example, does not yield the desired heterofullerene. Other methods starting from organic derivatives of fullerenes have to be considered instead. 

In discussing bonds formed between the group 14 elements and nitrogen, two compounds of particular importance emerge cyanogen, C2N2, and silicon nitride. Tin(IV) nitride has recently been prepared.
