Abstract

We are engaged in a project aimed at the preparation of organic solids containing a high density of strong, directed carbon-carbon bonds. Our objective in this project is to relate the molecular-level structure of the solids to their macroscopic physical properties and to determine if it is possible to replicate in these materials some of the remarkable range of properties exhibited by pure allotropes of carbon (diamond: hardness, high thermal ...
