Abstract

P. AND L. SCHÜTZENBERGER1 reported that when cyanogen was passed down a porcelain tube containing gas carbon with powdered cryolite on its surface, heated to a cherry-red heat, decomposition occurred and elementary carbon separated in a bulky mass of very slender filaments. The filaments had some elasticity, were friable and marked paper. When aluminium was mixed with the gas carbon, non-elastic filaments separated round it which, on gentle compression, resembled graphite.
