Oligoyne Derivatives as Reactive Precursors for the Preparation of Carbon Nanomaterials

Abstract

Carbon nanomaterials have been the subject of intense research over the past 20 years. Both the physical and all-organic methods used to prepare them possess advantages and drawbacks regarding purity, batch-to-batch uniformity, large-scale production, and conditions of preparation. In this account, we present an overview of ‘hybrid methods’, in which well-defined, reactive organic precursors based on alkynes are self-assembled and transformed using physical stimuli to produce carbon nanomaterials with different sizes, shapes, and functions.
