Stereochemistry of Carbon Nanotubes

• Naoki Komatsu

Abstract

Although stereochemistry of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been discussed so far in some papers, no common terminology has existed for describing left- and right-handed structures of chiral CNTs. Since optically active CNTs have been found experimentally by our group, the stereochemistry of CNTs is required to be reconsidered seriously. In this paper, new terminology of M and P is proposed to refer to the handedness of chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes according to the IUPAC nomenclature for helical structures.
