Polyyne
In chemistry, a polyyne is any organic compounds with alternating single and triple bonds; that is, n with n greater than 1. The simplest example is diacetylene or buta-1,3-diyne, H−C≡C−C≡C−H. These compounds have also been called oligoynes, or carbinoids after "carbyne" ∞, the hypothetical allotrope of carbon that would be the ultimate member of the series. The synthesis of this substance has been claimed several times since the 1960s, but those reports have been disputed. Indeed the substances identified as short chains of "carbyne" in many early organic synthesis attempts would be called polyynes today. Polyynes should not be confused with polyacetylenes, polymers formally obtained by polymerization of acetylene and its derivatives, whose backbones have alternating single and double bonds n. Along with cumulenes, polyynes are distinguished from other organic chains by their rigidity, which makes them promising for molecular nanotechnology. Polyynes have been detected in interstellar molecular clouds where hydrogen is scarce.
