Optimization of synthesis methods for carbon nanotubes is an essential requirement for realizing their potential applications in field‐emission devices, (bio)sensors, or as electrical interconnections in microchips. Procedures directly yielding clean nanotubes from a single molecular precursor (see picture) are highly desired and are expected to provide important clues to the general mechanism of nanotube formation.
