SiCN polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) with different carbon contents have been synthesized by pyrolysis of poly(phenylvinylsilylcarbodiimide) and of poly(phenylsilsesquicarbodiimide), and their structure and energetics have been studied using 29Si, 13C, 15N, and 1H solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and oxide melt solution calorimetry. The structure of these PDCs at lower carbon content (35–40 wt %) and pyrolysis temperatures (800 °C) consists primarily of amorphous nanodomains of sp2 carbon and silicon nitride with an interfacial region characterized by mixed bonding between N, C, and Si atoms that is likely stabilized by the presence of hydrogen. The average size of the carbon domains increases with increasing carbon content, and a continuously connected amorphous carbon matrix is formed in PDCs with 55–60 wt % C. The interfacial silicon–carbon and nitrogen–carbon bonds are destroyed with concomitant hydrogen loss upon increasing the pyrolysis temperature to 1100 °C. Calorimetry re...
