RuO 2 nanotubes with diameters of 15–25 nm and up to 3 μm in length have been prepared by the thermal decomposition of Ru 3 (CO) 12 inside alumina templates. The RuO 2 (110) planes grow along the long axis of the straight crystalline nanotubes. The growth of these fluorescent nanotubes appears to have proceeded via mononuclear ruthenium carbonyl intermediates (see Figure).
