5 Other Perethynylated Compounds as Potential Monomers for Carbon Networks 

In Section 13-4, it will be shown that tetraethynylethenes are potential monomers for the construction of all-carbon networks [1]. Other perethynylated compounds have been reported, which could also serve as building blocks for infinite two- and three-dimensional carbon nets [46]. They all represent fascinating small molecules of substantial structural and electronic interest [1, 2, 47].
