Changes in the local structure of nitrogen-containing carbon samples obtained by solid-phase pyrolysis of phthalonitrile and phthalocyanine at different pressures have been determined. The structure of carbon microspheres in the samples was studied by transmission electron microscopy. By combined analyzing the N 1s X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy data (N 1s XPS) and fitting it with experimental N K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure data (N K-edge XANES) the bond types and atomic structure parameters for the local structure of nitrogen in the synthesised samples have been determined. Bond lengths and angles in nitrogen-containing atomic configurations were determined, including three-atom C-N-C chains for pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen, as well as O=N-2C configurations for Quaternary nitrogen (QN) =Quaternary N (QN)=Oxidized N (ON). The percentage of these structural states of nitrogen in the samples and its dependence on the synthesis conditions were determined. Keywords: nitrogen-doped nanographene clusters, solid-phase pyrolysis, XPS, XANES, nitrogen structural states, Pyridine N/Pyrrole N.
