Abstract: A combinatorial synthesis of a heterodiamond unit cell, which entails a step of reacting a tetrahedranoidal molecule with a heteroatom to form heterodiamond unit cell and then heterodiamond mass.
Abstract: An apparatus for forming diamond, which contains a reaction chamber, means for providing tetrahedranoidal reactant molecules to the reaction chamber; and means for providing single carbon atoms in the reaction chamber to provide for reaction between the single carbon atoms and tetrahedranoidal reactant molecules.
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for producing diamond masses and products thereof using diamond unit cell forming reactions in vapor phase and solid phase. The present invention enables the fabrication of diamond products having a purity and morphology previously unattainable.
Abstract: A product of a chemical reaction, being a five carbon atom molecule having a tetrahedral structure consisting of four apical carbon atoms and a fifth carbon atom located centrally within the tetrahedral structure.

Abstract: Diamond unit cell produced by a combinatorial synthesis from a tetrahedranoidal compound and a carbon atom, and diamond mass produced therefrom, are described. Diamond mass produced is spectroscopically-free of graphitic impurities, and free of observable defects.
Abstract: A combinatorial synthesis of the diamond unit cell is disclosed wherein a carbon atom free of meta-stable radical impurities reacts with cyclic hydrocarbon compounds or heterocyclic compounds whose structure is tetrahedral or nearly tetrahedral. Reactions conducted in the vapor phase and in the solid state are disclosed.
