Confinement of molecules and atoms inside carbon nanotubes provides a powerful strategy for studying structures and chemical properties of individual molecules at the nanoscale. In this issue of ACS Nano, Allen et al. explore the nanotube as a template leading to the formation of unusual supramolecular and covalent structures. The potential of carbon nanotubes as reactors for synthesis on the nano- and macroscales is discussed in light of recent studies.
将分子和原子限制在碳纳米管内为在纳米尺度上研究单个分子的结构和化学性质提供了一种强大的策略。在本期 ACS Nano 杂志中，Allen 等人探索了将碳纳米管作为模板来形成不寻常的超分子和共价结构的方法。根据最近的研究，讨论了碳纳米管作为纳米和宏观尺度上合成反应的反应器的潜力。
