Abstract:
In the current era of nanotechnology, the isolation of graphene has acted as a catalyst for the study and creation of many innovative two-dimensional (2D) materials with distinctive functions. The recent synthesis of biphenylene (BPN), a porous 2D carbon allotrope, has ignited significant research interest due to its unique and tunable properties, making it a promising candidate for diverse applications in hydrogen storage, batteries, sensing, electrocatalysis, and beyond. Although a considerable amount of research has been carried out on BPN, there is hardly any review article on this fascinating material. Therefore, this comprehensive review article focuses on the fascinating properties of the advanced graphene family and 2D BPN. Additionally, there has been an in-depth discussion on 2D BPN, covering its synthesis process, recent advancements, and its applications in various fields. Moreover, this review will be useful to professionals and researchers in materials science, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, and related subjects since it provides detailed information on the characteristics, synthesis, and applications of 2D BPN.

01:16Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is...
