Journal Article
Miners, S. A., A. Rance, G., & N. Khlobystov, A. (2013). Regioselective control of aromatic halogenation reactions in carbon nanotube nanoreactors. Chemical Communications, 5586-5588. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3cc42414f

The use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as effective nanoreactors for preparative chemical reactions has been demonstrated for the first time. Extreme spatial confinement of reactant molecules inside nanotubes has been shown to drastically affect b...

Hollow graphitized carbon nanofibres (GNF) are employed as nanoscale reaction vessels for the hydrosilylation of alkynes. The effects of confinement in GNF on the regioselectivity of addition to triple carbon–carbon bonds are explored. A systematic c...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) act as efficient nanoreactors, templating the assembly of sulfur-terminated graphene nanoribbons (S-GNRs) with different sizes, structures, and conformations. Spontaneous formation of nanoribbons from small sulfur-containing m... Read More about Size, Structure, and Helical Twist of Graphene Nanoribbons Controlled by Confinement in Carbon Nanotubes.
