Foote, C. S., private comm., 1965
An unopened can of beans, placed in a laboratory oven originally at 110 C but later reset to 150 C, exploded causing extensive damage. Comments were judged to be superfluous.

There seems a considerable interest in preparing C 3N 4, or more exactly materials approximating to that. They are usually made by pyrolysis of high-nitrogen hetero-cyclic materials, with azide substituents, which might themselves justly be called carbon nitrides. They are usually explosive in large quantities. Other carbon nitrides, such as cyanogen, or diazomalononitrile, are also high energy. Given the relative weakness of the C-N bond compared to C-C, even the desired product will have a very positive enthalpy of formation.
