H4C6O
H4C6O is a semiconducting organic compound known for its high structural diversity and metastable nature.
About H4C6O
H4C6O is a complex organic-based compound characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. Its structural diversity is highlighted by a significant number of reported configurations, reflecting the intricate bonding possibilities within this carbon-hydrogen-oxygen framework. As a material that sits above the thermodynamic hull, H4C6O is considered metastable. This status suggests that while it can exist in various structural forms, it may be sensitive to environmental conditions that favor transition into more stable phases.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for H4C6O, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
