Polyynes spanning from a diyne to a dodecayne with adamantyl endgroups have been synthesized using the Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell rearrangement as a key step to construct the acetylenic framework. Molecular properties as a function of polyyne length have been analyzed by UV–Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential scanning calorimetry, and X‐ray crystallography.
