Funded Activity Summary

Base stabilised dicarbon as a new building block for supramolecular organometallic chemistry. Diamond, coal and graphite are the forms of carbon ("allotropes") found in everyday life. The discovery of two further allotropes of carbon, the fullerenes and graphene both led to Nobel Prize awards. We have identified a method to stabilize another form of carbon, dicarbon, and will harness its properties for the formation of new materials.
