A girl's best friend and diamondoid hydrocarbons have something in common: transparent glass crystals of [121312]hexamantane ( 1 ) appear like diamonds with a pronounced luster. Regarding 1 as a jewel, it may be thought of as a nanometer‐sized diamond of 10 −20 carat (1 carat=0.2 g). This and other advances in adamantane chemistry are presented herein.
