Abstract

Pressure-induced irreversible chemical reactions of naphthalene, 2,3-naphthyridine (2,3-Nap), and 1,5-naphthyridine (1,5-Nap) were observed after compression (>16–18 GPa) at room temperature. Regardless of the initial materials, amorphous products in which sp3 carbon was formed were obtained after the samples were recovered at ambient pressure. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the product from naphthalene indicated that the carbon sp3/sp2 ratio was much lower than that of benzene nanothreads. Nitrogen remained in the amorphous products from 1,5-Nap and 2,3-Nap and bonded to both sp3 and sp2 carbons.
