New results: synthesis of carbon wires in water

Posted on by Carlo Casari
We report the synthesis of carbon wires (polyynes) by submerged arc discharge in pure water. Polyynes with length from 6 to 16 carbon atoms have been detected by liquid chromatography through their UV-vis absorption spectra. By liquid chromatography we were able to separate and collect size-selected polyynes (6,8,10 carbon atoms) and to investigate their vibrational properties by surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This paper has been accepted for publication on Chemical Physics Le...

New Paper on long polymeric carbon wires

Posted on by Carlo Casari
  We published a new paper showing scanning tunneling micrsocopy images and Raman spectra of long linear polymeric sp-sp2 carbo wires produced by on-surface synthesis on a gold surface. This work is the result of a collaboration between EspLORE at Politecnico di Milano, University of Milan and Tongji University, Shanghai. This article is published on Nanoscale (RSC - Royal Society of Chemistry). Title: Scanning tunneling microscopy and Raman spectroscopy of polymeric sp - sp2 carbon atomic w...

New paper published

Posted on by Carlo Casari
A new paper with EspLORE results has been published on Scientific Reports (Nature group). We report the observation of charge transfer modulated by the structure of the carbon wire. The work is a collaboration between the EspLORE team at Politecnico di Milano (Department of Energy and Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Eng., "G. Natta") and the group of Prof. F. Diederich at ETH Zurich (Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences). A. Milani, V. Barbieri, A. Facibeni, V. Russ...
