RAMAN SCATTERING INVESTIGATION OF CARBYNOID AND DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON

After a short review on carbon allotropes and on the techniques which have been proved effective in the introduction fullerene-like sites in carbon solids, the review focuses of carbyne. The most recent approaches in the carbyne synthesis are reviewed. The deconvoluted Raman spectrum of a carbonaceous solid prepared through Glaser synthesis and containing carbyne domains, diamond-like carbon is presented and discussed in comparison to previous solid state 13C-NMR data.
