Polymerization of carbon cage structures to linear diamond-like structures inside carbon nanotubes

The inner space of carbon nanotubes can act as a template for the synthesis of nanodiamond-like carbon chains. As a team of scientists from Japan, Germany, and the United States report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, this templated polymerization approach paves the way for the design of novel one-dimensional nanomaterials.
