ScienceDiamondiyne, a new diamond-like form of carbon
Chemistry World says the structure uses alternating single and triple bonds and is one of the few carbon forms capable of covalent bonding across all three dimensions.
TLDR
Chemistry World describes diamondiyne as a new diamond-like form of carbon. Its structure expands diamond’s rigid 3D lattice by incorporating alternating single and triple bonds between connection points, the outlet reports. Chemistry World says its unusual mix of bonding types could yield a porous material with unique properties.
