Structure-property predictions are provided for various cubic carbon phases which contain the structural motifs found in poly(p-phenylene) and polydiacetylenes, but also contain conjugated polymer chains which are linearly extended in three-dimensions. All but one of these reversibly dopable phases are newly proposed and none of these phases is pathological in the sense that they are unlikely to be ever realizable as real materials. Various application possibilities are discussed, focusing on a very low energy carbon phase which contains six sets of non-parallel poly(p-phenylene) chains.
