Carbon is a girl′s best friend : Carbon‐based nanowires have been produced during thermal annealing of diamantane‐4,9‐dicarboxylic acid in carbon nanotubes under hydrogen atmosphere (see scheme). HR‐TEM images, Raman spectra, and structural transformations observed under an intense electron beam suggest that the as‐produced carbon‐based nanowires are sp 3 diamond nanowires, consistent with our computational results.
