The first isomer is theoretically more stable Ill. Linear all-carbon linkages sometimes occur in organic molecules. Et-&i-(C= C) i n-SiEt? and HK% C) nH. for example, have been syn&esiz&in the e&y%‘s (lo]. There are various other polyyne derivatives [l 11, some of which are even accessible via biosynthesis[12]. Polyynylcyanides, H-(C= C),,-CN (n= 2-4), reportedly appear in interstellar molecular clouds [131. Small linear all-carbon molecules (C2, C3,...) were found in comets, cold stars, and other exotic environments. In terrestrial conditions, they occur in the gaseous state, eg, in carbon vapor, and in products of special chemical or photochemical processes [141. Cvclic forms of C4-09 can also be considered 1111: the lower members’(e. &-Cs-“cracatene” 1151 possess extreme heats of forma&t, but large cyclic &ra@ ements (2 Gin) mieht be stable II 11. Eventuallv. the formation x.“I Y.* 4, of closed spheroidal structures for Ceo and other larger molecules is now well known thanks to the discovery of fullerenes. Macrocyclic polyynes are supposed to be precursors in the formation of fullerenes [161. No linear all-carbon molecule has yet been synthesized in a macroscopic quantity to allow its characterization in a condensed phase. Baughman et al.[173 have suggested hypothethical carbon crystals (“graphynes”) by introducing linear (sp-bonded) links into the graphite layer. Similar reasoning leads to fullereneynes[18] and layer-chain carbons [19]. A prospective synthetic approach toward such carbon skeltons was reviewed by Diedrich [111. Baughman et al.[171 doubt the existence of a purely linear carbon allotrope (“carbyne”), since its heat of formation would be too high (25.4 kcal/mol) as compared, eg, to graphynes.Controversial discussions about the existence of carbyne have appeared in the literature since early 60’s (for reviews see [3-51). Such a material is also called “white carbon”,“Ries crater carbon”,“chaoite” and “nolvacetvlene”. The latter (rather misleading) term appears sometimes in old Russian papers.(Sladkov’s term “carbvne” 141, is not without obiections, either, since it con&ts with the IUPAC-codified term for some free radicals [20]).
