A hydrocarbon compound containing two acetylene groups, used in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
From 'dia-' (two) + 'acetylene' (HC≡CH), describing a molecule with two triple-bonded carbon pairs.
Diacetylene monomers can polymerize into incredibly strong, flexible materials—scientists are now using them to create futuristic polymers that might eventually replace traditional plastics.
