See: Gemstone like compound#Carbons versatility
sp3 allotropes:
- Diamond (cubic)
- Lonsdaleite (hexagonal)
- Dialondeite (only accessible via piezomechanosynthesis)
- ...
- O16 carbon – orthorhombic superhard – all-sp3 6 membered rings
- Further less energetically stable all-sp3 allotropes: BC8, BC12, R16
sp2 allotropes:
- Graphite (today single cystalline graphite is called HOPG for highly ordered pyrolytic graphite)
Future: POPMG for "perfectly ordered piezomechanosynthesized graphite. - Buckyballs (convex curvature; concave from inside) – weak molecular solids
- Nanotubes (no curvature – flat rolled)
- 3D meshes (hyperbolic curvature)
- "penta graphene" (cairo pattern)
- ...
No exactly defined structure:
- DLC diamond like carbon – wikipedia
- Glassy carbon – wikipedia
- Other form of amorphous carbon – wikipedia
- ...
Exotic allotropes:
- ...
Binary compounds:
- Silicon carbide SiC aka moissanite
- Carbon nitrides: beta carbon nitride and cubic gauche carbon nitride
- Titanium carbide TiC aka titanium-khamrabaevite (cubic rock salt structure) Mohs 9-9.5 refractory
- Vanadium carbide VC (vanadium is not too common) vanadium-khamrabaevite
similar is: NbC and TaC (Nb is not abundant, Ta is extremely rare) - Zirconium cabide ZrC [1] (same structure but no natural mineral present)
similar is: HfC (Hf is pretty rare) - Iron carbide (this here is not cementite!!) iron-khamrabaevite (unknown stability, likely very hard)
- Chromium_carbide (various stoichiometric & structures - may point to useful covalent behavior)
Cr3C2 Tongbaite (refractory, Mohs 9.6; orthorhombic; 6.64g/ccm) Cr is not too abundant
Cr23C6 - Molybdenium carbide (de) Mo2C (insoluble, two modifications α and β) Mo is rather rare
- Tungsten_carbide (hexagonal, Mohs 9) W is rather rare
- Fe3C, Ni3C, Co3C cohenite endmembers (likely rather metallic, Mohs 5.5-6)
- copper and zinc are more electronegative => more covalent behavior => organometallic compounds
- Boron carbide B4C [2] (boron is not too common)
- Aluminium carbide [3] (reacts with water - releases methane gas CH4)
- Beryllium carbide Be2C (very hard but reactive, toxic and rare)
- Magnesium carbide ??? - magnesium acetylide Mg2C3 (de wikipedia)
- Calcium carbide CaC2 (an acetylide - reacts with water - releases ethyne gas C2H2)
- TODO: La, Ce, (Li, Na, K)
Way harder than diamond
Macroscopic (pre)tensions can increase resilience but not ultimate tensile strength.
In glass there internal tensions can increase resilience massively.
See Wikipedia on: Prince Rupert's drops
These drops have their tail as weak spot and their shape is pre-given so they are of not much use beside a curiosity for sci-education.
In principle using advanced bottom up manufacturing it might be possible to toughen diamond a lot via internal tensions but leaving no weak spot.
