| Research Abstract |
Diamond molecules, so-called diamondoids, hold promise for a wide range of applications such as biotechnology, medicine, and optoelectronics. However, their synthesis has shown to be difficult. We have developed a high-pressure / supercritical plasma microreactor that allows the synthesis of diamondoids, using the smallest diamondoid as a precursor and seed. This microreactor showed higher reaction yields compared to similar synthesis approaches and gas chromatography ? mass spectrometry measurements indicate the synthesis up to the eleventh diamondoid member. The growth process of higher diamondoids from lower ones was found to proceed in a step-wise manner, with repeated removal of hydrogen terminations and attachment of methyl radicals.
