   In 2001, a diamond-like-structured c-BC 2 N was synthesized at pressures >18 GPa and temperatures >2,200 K by a direct solid-state phase transition of graphite-like (BN) 0.48 C 0.52. The reported Vickers and Knoop hardnesses were intermediate between diamond and c-BN, making the new phase the second hardest known material. [ 39 ]

[ 25 ] Because of its hardness, it can be used in high-pressure experiments, as a replacement for diamond (see diamond anvil cell ). [ 6 ]
