Design and Synthesis of Carbon Nanotube Segments

Yasutomo Segawa et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. .

Abstract

The selective and predictable synthesis of structurally uniform carbon nanotubes (CNTs) represents a long-standing goal in both nanocarbon science and synthetic organic chemistry. This Review focuses on synthetic studies toward the controlled synthesis of CNTs with single chirality through the organic synthesis of CNT segments and the organic template assisted growth of CNTs.

Keywords: carbon nanotube; cycloparaphenylene; organic synthesis; template growth.
