5. This study also mentions the preparation of a hexadecayne the ends of which were protected by bulky triethylsilyl groups; the characterization of this "carbon rod" (as that of 2, n = 10) rested on its UV/Vis spectra only. The largest isolated polyyne of type 2 is the decayne (2, n = 8): W. A. Chalifoux, R. McDonald, M. J. Ferguson, R. R. Tykwinski, Angew. Chem. 2009, 121, 8056-8060;
