HomeCumulenes: Beauty in a Line
The chemical world of elemental carbon modifications—carbon allotropes—has grown remarkably diverse, extending far beyond the naturally occurring forms of diamond and graphite. In addition to these three-dimensional structures, synthetic nanostructures such as quasi-one-dimensional carbon nanotubes, spherical fullerenes, and two-dimensional graphene, along with their chemical derivatives, have now been realized in the laboratory. Each of these […]The chemical world of elemental carbon modifications—carbon allotropes—has grown remarkably diverse, extending far beyond the naturally occurring forms of diamond and graphite.
