Abstract: Chemical dehydrohalogenation of halogen-containing polymers has been considered as a method for synthesizing carbyne. General principles of the method, various dehydrohalogenating agents, the structure of original polymers and reaction products, as well as the nature of side reactions have been discussed. Based on vibrational, electron, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data, it has been concluded that the method does not provide an approach to the synthesis of perfect (i.e., defect-free) carbyne structures, and that dehydrohalogenation products should be regarded as carbynoid polymeric materials containing short carbyne fragments along with various defects.
