Schwarzite—The holy grail of carbon allotropes
A new, fully 3D π-conjugated material has been theoretically predicted to join the impactful family of sp2-carbon allotropes, which comprises fullerenes (0D), carbon nanotubes (1D), and graphene (2D). In this perspective, we discuss approaches and share our vision toward these thus-far-elusive curved structures called schwarzites. Key steps are the template-mediated preorganization of small heptagon- or octagon-containing molecular cutouts of schwarzite and the subsequent formation of the desired carbon allotrope under suitable conditions for C–C bond formation and reorganization.
