Claim:
1. A method for producing transition metal compounds of the general composition of Me a C b N c H d , where Me=transition metal or transition metal mixture, a is 1 to 4, b is 6 to 9, c is 8 to 14, d is 0 to 8, the method comprising: subjecting a reaction mixture consisting of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds and non-condensed or slightly condensed C—N—H compounds to a heat treatment, wherein the non-condensed or slightly condensed C—N—H compounds include one selected from the group of cyanamide, dicyandiamide, and melamine, wherein the content of transition metals and/or transition metal compounds is 6 to 40 mole percent of the reaction mixture, and wherein the heat treatment is performed in a first temperature range between 150° C. and 570° C.
