Method for producing transition metal compounds, transition metal compounds and use thereof

A method for producing transition metal compounds of the general composition of MeaCbNcHd, wherein Me=transition metal or transition metal mixture, a=1-4, b=6-9, c=8-14, d=0-8, wherein a reaction mixture consisting of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds and non-condensed or slightly condensed C—N—H compounds is subjected to a heat treatment, wherein the content of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds is at least 6 mole percent, preferably 10 to 40 mole percent related to the reaction mixture, and the heat treatment is performed in a first temperature range between 150° C. and 570° C., in particular between 300° C. and 540° C.

A transition metal compound of the general composition of MeaCbNcHd, wherein Me=transition metal or transition metal mixture, a=1-4, b=6-9, c=8-14, d=0-8, and wherein for producing said transition metal compound a reaction mixture consisting of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds and non-condensed or slightly condensed C—N—H compounds is subjected to a heat treatment, wherein the content of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds is at least 6 mole percent, preferably 10 to 40 mole percent related to the reaction mixture, and the heat treatment is performed in a first temperature range between 150° C. and 570° C., in particular between 300° C. and 540° C.

A transition metal compound of the general composition of MeaCbNcHd, wherein Me=transition metal or transition metal mixture, a=1-4, b=6-9, c=8-14, d=0-8, wherein the transition metal compound has at least one C6N9H4 unit directly or indirectly bound to the transition metal or the transition metal mixture, which is present as di-imino-tri-s-triazine.
