Linear, sp-hybridised, 1-dimensional (1D) all-carbon wires are conceptually the simplest π-
conjugated organic molecules. Their fundamental experimental and theoretical properties …

This review provides a discussion of the current state of research on sp-carbon chains
synthesized by pulsed laser ablation in liquid. In recent years, pulsed laser ablation in liquid …

Molecular chains of two-coordinate carbon atoms (cumulenes) have long been targeted,
due to interest in the electronic structure and applications of extended π-systems, and their …

Abstract Solution‐processed, large‐area, and flexible electronics largely relies on the
excellent electronic properties of sp2‐hybridized carbon molecules, either in the form of π …

We describe a novel strategy for stabilizing the long-elusive, condensed-state materials
consisting of sp carbon chains. High-level ab initio calculations indicate that covalent …

We calculate the relative energy between the cumulene and polyyne structures of a set of
C4k+ 2 (k= 4–7) rings (C18, C22, C26, and C30 prompted by the recent synthesis of the …

We report on the formation of the field-effect transistor based on a polyyne–polyene
structure. Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) drop casting and its subsequent …

The vibrational properties of a series of push-pull polyynes have been studied by infrared
and Raman spectroscopy. The simultaneous activation of a strong infrared and Raman …

One-dimensional (1D) linear nanostructures comprising sp-hybridized carbon atoms, as
derivatives of the prototypical allotrope known as carbyne, are predicted to possess …

Carbyne, the ideal linear atomic wire consisting of a single-atom thick chain of sp-carbon, is
theoretically predicted to have around five times higher surface area than graphene, notable …
