atomchains [12].
Graphene and related materials such as nanotubes, polycrystalline nanoparticles [13] and carbon onions [14] have seen significant progress in preparing samples of reasonable size and quality [15] and form a worldwide actively pursued field of research on understanding and modifying

Keywords: atomchains; carbon; carbyne; one-dimensional solids; sp1 hybridization; Introduction
Carbon is a unique element due to its ability to form bonds in three different hybridizations. The hybridizations, sp1, sp2, and sp3, correspond to bonding geometries in one-, two-, and three-dimensional space
