  Pentadiamond is a recently proposed new carbon allotrope consisting of a
network of pentagonal rings where both sp$^2$ and sp$^3$ hybridization are
present. In this work we investigated the mechanical and electronic properties,
as well as, the thermal stability of pentadiamond using DFT and fully atomistic
reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We also investigated its
properties beyond the elastic regime for three different deformation modes:
compression, tensile and shear. The behavior of pentadiamond under compressive
deformation showed strong fluctuations in the atomic positions which are
responsible for the strain softening at strains beyond the linear regime, which
characterizes the plastic flow. As we increase temperature, as expected,
Young's modulus values decrease, but this variation (up to 300 K) is smaller
than 10\% (from 347.5 to 313.6 GPa), but the fracture strain is very sensitive,
varying from $\sim$44\% at 1K to $\sim$5\% at 300K.
