Recent dynamic compression data for carbon are discussed which suggests that metallic carbon has unexpected thermodynamics properties, both in having a lower density and energy of formation and a higher melting temperature. On the basis of these properties the diamond phase of carbon is now predicted to transform to a solid phase of metallic carbon at all pressures above the graphite triple point.
