Abstract: 

A simple method for the synthesis of linear‐chain diamond‐like
nanomaterials, so‐called diamantane polymers, is described. This
synthetic approach is primarily based on a template reaction of
dihalogen‐substituted diamantane precursors in the hollow cavities of
carbon nanotubes. Under high vacuum and in the presence of Fe
nanocatalyst particles, the dehalogenated radical intermediates
spontaneously form linear polymer chains within the carbon nanotubes.
Transmission electron microscopy reveals the formation of well‐aligned
linear polymers. We expect that the present template‐based approach will
enable the synthesis of a diverse range of linear‐chain polymers by
choosing various precursor molecules. The present technique may offer a
new strategy for the design and synthesis of one‐dimensional
nanomaterials.
