Graphyne

Graphyne is an allotrope of carbon. Its structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp and sp²-bonded carbon atoms arranged in crystal lattice. It can be seen as a lattice of benzene rings connected by acetylene bonds. Depending on the content of acetylene groups, graphyne can be considered a mixed hybridization, spⁿ, where 1.
