Encapsulated nickel nanofibres: Ultrasmall 1‐dodecanethiol‐capped nickel clusters were synthesized by a modified Schiffrin reaction. The mean outer diameter of the particles is 3.2 nm. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction results indicate that the core is composed of metallic nickel, not nickel oxide. This monolayer‐protected Ni cluster (Ni‐MPC) can be assembled along the template of C12SH and alkane lamellae into ordered nanofibers (see figure.)
