The coating makes the wire bundle : High‐quality free‐standing copper nanowires have been successfully produced by disproportionation of Cu + in oleylamine. This provides an effective way to prepare high‐quality copper nanowires, but also enriches synthetic routes to other nanostructures. These copper nanowires can self‐assemble by surface ligand exchange of oleylamine with trioctylphosphine.
