his book is an outstanding addition to existing carbon literature. It includes comprehensive details (properties, synthesis, and applications) about various existing forms of carbon, both natural and manmade. The vast compilation of properties of carbon in different forms makes it unique, whereas most existing books are restricted to a few carbon forms. This book discusses a variety of carbon allotropes varying from common (graphite, coal) to rare (nanoplates or nanocups), to well-developed industrially (carbon black), or intensely studied on the nanolevel (carbon nanotubes or graphene), or doped with metals and functionalized with organic and organometallic groups. Each chapter contains a large number of high-quality figures and tables, which will help the reader understand the concepts, properties, and behavior of carbon materials. Appropriate comparisons among different carbon materials are used wherever possible to provide a better insight into the evolution of properties as carbon changes its forms. References for further reading are also provided. A small collection of problems with their solutions is included at the end of chapter 11.

Chapter 1 briefly presents classification of various carbon allotropes according to dimensionality and hybridization and also discusses their properties. The properties of conventional carbon allotropes (graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon) and their applications are discussed in chapter 2. Chapter 3 covers details about the structure, properties, synthesis, and applications of classic carbon nanostructures and provides insight into the salient features of these materials, such as reactivity and electron-transport mechanisms. The text provides an in-depth understanding of lesser-known carbon forms (such as nano–New York, nano-paper, nano-volcanoes, nano-sponges) along with discussions in chapter 4. Chapter 5 presents details about synthesis, properties, and applications of lonsdaleite, glassy carbon, carbon black, and xerogels, while chapter 6 includes applications of computational methods to predict new carbon forms, which have not been observed experimentally (e.g., novamene, protomene). Chapters 7 and 8 are dedicated to coordination/organometallic compounds and composites of carbon allotropes and their
