Title: Structural aspects and conformation of linear carbon polytypes (carbynes)
Abstract: The apparent discrepancy that an element with the richest chemistry of all should possess only few polymorphs was resolved recently by the increasing recognition of carbynes, chain-like compounds with sp-configuration and conjugated triple or cumulated double bonds between the carbon atoms in the chain. A simple classification approach is suggested leading to a linear relationship between the number of atoms in the chain and the c-axes lengths, the cell volumes, and the a0c0 ratio. Moreover, a new carbyne form was observed which may have originated from regraphitization of shock-formed diamond. The new carbon polymorph fits well in the gap between already known carbyne forms.
