They can have high carbon contents, but are insulators.
It is the chemical structure that permits or restricts both electrical and thermal conductivity not the carbon content.
What about metals in general, no carbon there!
What about Magnesium Diborane (MgB2)?
Next time, please read all the posts in the thread. You can move on after you've realized that not one of those posts was serious.
