Prediction of highly stable 2D carbon allotropes based on azulenoid kekulene

Abstract Despite enormous interest in two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes, discovering stable 2D carbon structures with practically useful electronic properties presents a significant challenge. Computational modeling in this work shows that fusing azulene-derived macrocycles – azulenoid kekulene...
