One-dimensional carbon chains encapsulated in hollandite

Abstract One-dimensional carbon chains are highly reactive allotropes that are stabilized inside the protective environment of carbon nanotubes. Here we show that carbon chains can be encapsulated in metal oxides containing open structural channels, exemplified by hollandite α-MnO2. The α-MnO2 chann...
