Özet

Thermal stability of benzorods 2C6-20C6, which are obtained by stacking n (n=2-20) dehydrogenated benzene, have been investigated by molecular-dynamics simulations. It has been found that these structures assume a geometrical form depending on the number of dehydrogenated benzene layers, and they are stable under heat treatment up to elevated temperatures with a dependence on length.
