Diamondiyne: A 3D Carbon Allotrope With Mixed sp–sp 3 Hybridization

ABSTRACT The creation of carbon allotropes is synthetically highly challenging, but their practical significance to science and technology cannot be underestimated. Here, we report the synthesis of a new carbon allotrope, diamondiyne, which is the second known one (after diamond)...

Inter-DropletElectric Fields Drive Water Redox Chemistryin Microdroplets

Abstract The chemistry of water microdroplets is often interpreted from the perspective of isolated droplet interfaces, although practical microdroplet systems more commonly exist as dense ensembles of interacting droplets. Here, we show that a closed reactor based on ultrasonic...
