Graphynes and graphdiynes are generic names for families of two-dimensional carbon allotropes, where acetylenic groups connect benzenoid-like hexagonal rings, with the coexistence of sp and sp hybridized carbon atoms. The main differences between graphynes and graphdiynes are the number of acetylenic groups (one and two for graphynes and graphdiynes, respectively). Similarly to graphene nanoscrolls, graphyne and graphdiynes nanoscrolls are nanosized membranes rolled into papyrus-like structures. In this work we studied through molecular dynamics simulations, using reactive potentials, the structural and thermal (up to 1000 K) stability of α,β,γ-graphyne and α,β,γ-graphdiyne scrolls. Our results demonstrate that stable nanoscrolls can be created for all the structures studied here, although they are less stable than corresponding graphene scrolls. This can be elucidated as a result of the higher graphyne/graphdiyne structural porosity in relation to graphene, and as a consequence, the π-π stacking interactions decrease.

Given their molecular properties and electronic structure, graphyne and graphdiyne are promising materials with numerous applications in different fields of material science. Dehydrobenzoannules (DBAs) are candidates that can serve as building blocks for synthesizing and designing new 2D carbon allotropes; however, only a few graphynes have been produced on a practical scale. Herein, we present our investigation of three DBAs, which serve as a model to understand the relationship between the structure and property, contributing to 2D carbon allotropes' rational design and synthetic effort.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces metalated graphynes (MGYs), which incorporate transition-metal single atoms into graphdiyne frameworks for creating advanced catalysts.
- Four photocatalysts using NiII, PdII, PtII, and HgII were synthesized, with NiII showing the best performance in CO generation.
- The exceptional efficiency of the TEPY-Ni-GY catalyst is due to its unique structural features that enhance electron transfer and improve CO2 adsorption, making it a viable option for CO2 reduction.

This work initiates a concept of reduced reverse degree based -Polynomial for a graph, and differential and integral operators by using this -Polynomial. In this study twelve reduced reverse degree-based topological descriptors are formulated using the -Polynomial. The topological descriptors, denoted as 's, are numerical invariants that offer significant insights into the molecular topology of a molecular graph.

Graphyne has attracted considerable interest and attention since its successful synthesis, due to its enormous potential for applications in the fields of electronics, energy, catalysis, information technology, etc. Although various methods for synthesizing graphyne have been explored, single-layer graphynes have not been successfully developed. Hexaethynylbenzene (HEB) is considered an ideal precursor molecule because it can undergo Glaser coupling reactions between molecules to synthesize single layer graphdiyne on single crystal metal surfaces via on-surface reactions.
