[Cu(SCH 3 )] ∞ nanowires with lengths on the order of hundreds of micrometers were obtained with a facile method from the reaction of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ⋅3 H 2 O, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and water under hydrothermal conditions within a large range of DMSO/water ratios and at various temperatures. These highly crystalline, thermally stable (under vacuum) nanowires are p‐type conducting and have a hole mobility as high as 2 cm 2 V −1 S −1 , which is 10 2 –10 5 times higher than previously reported values. The high hole mobility may demonstrate their promising future in various electronic‐device applications.
