Printed in Sweden by US-AB, Stockholm 2008 Distributor: FOOS/Structurkemi ii ABSTRACT Carbide derived carbons (CDCs) have been synthesised through chlorina- tion of VC, TiC, WC, TaC, NbC, HfC and ZrC at different temperatures. The aim of the investigation was to systematically study changes of struc- tural and adsorption properties depending on the synthesis conditions. CDCs were characterised using nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron micros- copy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The studies revealed the CDCs structures to range from amorphous to ordered, from microporous to mesoporous. It was found that structural ordering and porosity can be modi- fied by: i) synthesis temperature, ii) precursor, iii) density and volume of precursor, iv) catalysts, v) incorporation of nitrogen in to carbide structure, and CDCs can be tuned up to the demanded quality. They also exhibited a high potential for methane storage. iii iv LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Paper I. Porosity development along the synthesis of carbons from metal carbides S.

    Ceramic Carbides: The Tough Guys of the Materials World by Paul Everitt and Ian Doggett, Technical Specialists, Goodfellow Ceramic and Glass Division c/o Goodfellow Corporation, Coraopolis, Pa. Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are among the world’s hardest known materials and are used in a variety of demanding industrial applications, from blasting-equipment nozzles to space-based mirrors. But there is more to these “tough guys” of the materials world than hardness alone—these two ceramic carbides have a profile of properties that are valued in a wide range of applications and are worthy of consideration for new research and product design projects. Silicon Carbide Use of this high-density, high-strength material has evolved from mainly high-temperature applications to a host of engineering applications. Silicon carbide is characterized by: • High thermal conductivity • Low thermal expansion coefficient • Outstanding thermal shock resistance • Extreme hardness FIGURE 1: • Semiconductor properties Typical properties of silicon carbide • A refractive index greater than diamond (hot-pressed sheet) Chemical Resistance Although many people are familiar with the Acids, concentrated Good Acids, dilute Good general attributes of this advanced ceramic Alkalis Good-Poor (see Figure 1), an important and frequently Halogens Good-Poor overlooked consideration is that the properties Metals Fair of silicon carbide can be altered by varying the Electrical Properties final compaction method.

  • Three Distinct Torsion Profiles of Electronic Transmission Through
    Three Distinct Torsion Profiles of Electronic Transmission through Linear Carbon Wires Marc H. Garner†, William Bro-Jørgensen, Gemma C. Solomon* Nano-Science Center and Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 5, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark. ABSTRACT. The one-dimensional carbon allotrope carbyne, a linear chain of sp-hybridized carbon atoms, is predicted to exist in a polyynic and a cumulenic structure. While molecular forms of carbyne have been extensively characterized, the structural nature is hard to determine for many linear carbon wires that are made in-situ during pulling experiments. Here, we show that cumulenes and polyynes have distinctively different low-bias conductance profiles under axial torsion. We analyze the change of the electronic structure, Landauer transmission, and ballistic current density of the three types of closed-shell molecular carbynes as a function of the torsion angle. Both polyynic, odd-carbon cumulenic, and even-carbon cumulenic carbon wires exhibit helical frontier molecular orbitals when the end-groups are not in a co-planar configuration. This helical conjugation effect gives rise to strong ring current patterns around the linear wires. Only the transmission of even-carbon polyynic wires follows the well-known cosine-squared law with axial torsion that is also seen in biphenyl-type systems. Notably, the transmission of even-carbon cumulenic carbon wires rises with axial torsion from co-planar towards perpendicular orientation of the end-groups. The three distinct transmission profiles of polyynes, odd-carbon cumulenes, 1 and even-carbon cumulenes may allow for experimental identification of the structural nature of linear carbon wires. Their different electron transport properties under axial torsion furthermore underline that, in the molecular limit of carbyne, three different subclasses of linear carbon wires exist.

  • On the Road to Carbene and Carbyne Complexes
    ON THE ROAD TO CARBENE AND CARBYNE COMPLEXES Nobel Lecture, 11 December 1973 by ERNST OTTO FISCHER Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Technical University, Munich, Federal Republic of Germany Translation from the German text INTRODUCTION In the year 1960, I had the honour of giving a talk at this university* about sandwich complexes on which we were working at that time. I think I do not have to repeat the results of those investigations today. I would like to talk instead about a field of research in which we have been intensely interested in recent years: namely, the field of carbene complexes and, more recently, carbyne complexes. If we substitute one of the hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon of the alkane type - for example, ethane - by a metal atom, which can of course bind many more ligands, we arrive at an organometallic compound in which the organic radical is bound to the metal atom by a σ-bond (Fig. la). The earliest compounds of this kind were prepared more than a hundred years ago; the first was cacodyl, prepared by R. Bunsen (1), and then zinc dialkyls were prepared by E. Frankland (2). Later V. Grignard was able to synthesise alkyl magnesium halides by treating magnesium with alkyl halides (3). Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1912 for this effort. We may further recall the organo-aluminium compounds (4) of K. Ziegler which form the basis for the low pressure polymerisation, for example of ethylene. Ziegler and G. Natta were together honoured with the Nobel Prize in 1963 for their work on organometallic compounds.

Hydrogen adsorption on calcium- decorated carbyne chain was studied using ab initio density functional calculations. The estimation of surface area of carbyne gives the value four times larger than that of graphene, which makes carbyne attractive as a storage scaffold medium. Furthermore, calculations show that a Ca-decorated carbyne can adsorb up to 6 H2 molecules per Ca atom with a binding energy of ∼0.2 eV, desirable for reversible storage, and the hydrogen storage capacity can exceed ∼8 wt %. Unlike recently reported transition metal-decorated carbon nanostructures, which suffer from the metal clustering diminishing the storage capacity, the clustering of Ca atoms on carbyne is energetically unfavorable. Thermodynamics of adsorption of H2 molecules on the Ca atom was also investigated using equilibrium grand partition function.
