Diamond nanowires are prepared inside carbon nanotubes by thermal annealing of diamantane‐4,9‐dicarboxylic acid under a hydrogen atmosphere. The synthesis of, and evidence for, diamond nanowires are described by H. Shinohara and co‐workers in their Communication on page 3717 ff. The picture shows the filling of diamantane‐4,9‐dicarboxylic acid into open‐capped double‐wall carbon nanotubes, thermal annealing in hydrogen atmosphere (red “smoke"), and conversion into diamond nanowires (golden structures).
