Chemists synthesize a new allotrope of carbon

In a new study led by Oxford University's Department of Chemistry, chemists have demonstrated the synthesis of a cyclocarbon that is stable enough for spectroscopic characterization in solution at room temperature. The study is published in the journal Science.

Chemists Synthesize New Carbon Allotrope

The newly-synthesized molecule, cyclo[48]carbon, is made up of 48 carbon atoms in an alternating single/triple bond pattern. The post Chemists Synthesize New Carbon Allotrope appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
