A dual perspective on the microwave-assisted synthesis of HCN polymers towards the chemical evolution and design of functional materials.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the first study on NH₄CN polymerization induced by microwave radiation is described, where a singular kinetic behaviour, especially when this reaction is conducted in the absence of air, is found. As a result, a complex conjugated N-heterocyclic polymer system is obtained, whose properties are very different, and even improved according to morphological features, characterized by their X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy analysis, with respect to those produced under conventional thermal treatment. In addition, a wide variety of relevant bioorganics have been identified, such as amino acids, nucleobases, co-factors, etc., from the synthetized NH₄CN polymers. These particular families of polymers are of high interest in the fields
