Chemistry through cocrystals: pressure-induced polymerization of C2H2·C6H6to an extended crystalline hydrocarbon

Abstract

The 1 : 1 acetylene–benzene cocrystal, C2H2·C6H6, was synthesized under pressure in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and its evolution under pressure was studied with single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.
