fourteencarbon
Fourteencarbon is a term used in theoretical chemistry and materials science to describe molecules or materials whose carbon skeleton contains fourteen carbon atoms. It is not a single predefined molecule but a class used to discuss possible isomeric forms, topologies, and the range of physical properties that a C14 framework might exhibit. The concept often appears in discussions of carbon allotropy, nanostructured carbon, and synthetic design strategies for small carbon clusters.
Structural motifs within fourteencarbon can vary widely. Common considerations include linear or branched C14 chains, cyclo-
Synthesis and study are largely exploratory. Researchers use computational chemistry to enumerate possible isomers, estimate relative
Properties and potential applications depend on topology. Theoretical studies suggest a spectrum of behaviors from insulating
