摘要
(Figure Presented) Hard and straight: Diamond is the hardest material known, yet polyyne - a molecular rod comprised of C≡C units - resists longitudinal compression with a Young's Modulus 40 times larger than diamond, whereas [n]staffanes have a Young's Modulus close to that of diamond. Mechanical engineering provides the connection between the point at which a rod buckles under longitudinal load and its cross-sectional area. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
