Inter‐carbon‐allotrope architectures consisting of single‐walled carbon nanotubes and fullerenes have been prepared by a very efficient reductive activation/exfoliation synthesis sequence. In their Communication on page 8058 ff., A. Hirsch et al. report the covalent attachment of both empty fullerenes (C 60 ) and endohedral fullerenes (Sc 3 N@C 80 ) to the side‐walls of the tubes, based on this hybridization strategy. The new nanomaterials were characterized by TEM.
