Carbon-carbon Bond
Because the carbon atom has four unpaired electrons,
four bonds are necessary.
Diamond and Graphite, the isotopes of the carbon, are
described below.

Application of PAH
Pentacene
Pentacene is an organic compound that first exceeds the
amorphous silicon level (Driving level of liquid crystal display) .
Amorphous Silicon Level
Career Mobility > 1.0 cm2/Vs
Pentacene Level
Career Mobility > 1.5 cm2/Vs
It is historical event of science and technology that organic
semiconductor replaces inorganic semiconductor.

Summary
*Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), Compound that one
or more aromatic rings are condensed, are expected that
replaces inorganic semiconductor.
* Traditionally, PAHs have been synthesized in stepwise
synthesis methods which construct a ring one-by-one.
* In recent years, on the other hand, plural rings of PAHs are
efficiently constructed.
* Recently, we have developed new single-step synthetic
methods with high efficiency by tandem cyclization reaction
of integrated acetylene.
