Hard amorphous (diamond-like) carbons

The electrochemistry of noble metal electrodes in aprotic organic solvents containing lithium salts

The article discusses the mechanisms and the applications in organic synthesis, materials, supramolecular, and polymer synthesis of most organic reactions mediated by single electron transfer. Each reaction or class of reactions will be discussed by starting with the original discovery publication, followed by a summary of all or most review articles published in the field, and a discussion of the mechanism(s) and of the most important methodologic and synthetic developments since the most recent review was published. The mechanisms of most organic reactions are considered to proceed by two-electron transfer pathways, even though both biology and radical chemistry rely extensively on one-electron transfer processes. Radicals generated by homolytic cleavage at high temperature were traditionally employed in the industrial production of polymers and to a lesser extent in the synthesis of organic molecules.

Single electron transfer in radical ion and radical-mediated organic, materials and polymer synthesis.

A carbon allotrope based on "sp" hybridization containing alternating
 triple and single bonds (an acetylenic or linear carbon allotrope) has been prepared.
 Studies of small (8 to 28 carbon atoms) acetylenic carbon model compounds show that such
 species are quite stable (130° to 140°C) provided that nonreactive terminal groups or end
 caps (such as tert-butyl or trifluoromethyl) are present to stabilize these molecules
 against further reactions. In the presence of end capping groups, laser-based synthetic
 techniques similar to those normally used to generate fullerenes, produce thermally stable
 acetylenic carbon species capped with trifluoromethyl or nitrile groups with chain lengths
 in excess of 300 carbon atoms. Under these conditions, only a negligible quantity of
 fullerenes is produced. Acetylenic carbon compounds are not particularly moisture or
 oxygen sensitive but are moderately light sensitive.
