Abstract
Growth spurt: A recent series of publications promises to pave the way for a polymer approach towards well-defined carbon nanostructures by combining the stepwise organic synthesis of carbon nanotube (CNT) end caps and their use as templates for CNT growth by Diels-Alder addition of nitroethylene as a masked acetylene derivative.
