Description
Summary:A brilliant example of the treasures that can be found in petroleum: The cover picture shows the carbon framework structure of the newly identified diamond molecule cyclohexamantane, C26H30, superimposed on a diamond lattice surrounded by individual cyclohexamantane molecules shown from a variety of perspectives, such as their diamond (100), (110), (111) faces. More details are given in the Communication by J. E. P. Dahl et al. on page 2040 ff.
