Marilyn Monroe knew that “diamonds are a girl's best friend” but, in the meantime, many
chemists have realized that they are also extremely attractive objects in contemporary …

The search for electron sources with simultaneous optimal spatial and temporal resolution
has become an area of intense activity for a wide variety of applications in the emerging …

Photocathodes—materials that convert photons into electrons through a phenomenon
known as the photoelectric effect—are important for many modern technologies that rely on …

The metal-induced coupling of tertiary diamondoid bromides gave highly sterically
congested hydrocarbon (hetero) dimers with exceptionally long central C–C bonds of up to …

The term “diamondoid” describes cage hydrocarbon molecules that are superimposable on
the diamond lattice. Diamondoids that are formally built by face-fusing of adamantane units …

Abstract Adamantane (C 10 H 16), the smallest diamondoid molecule, has sparked
considerable scientific interest due to its symmetric, single cage-shaped structure. In the …

Controlling inorganic structure and dimensionality through structure-directing agents is a
versatile approach for new materials synthesis that has been used extensively for metal …

Diamondoids can be thought of as the smallest (ca. 0.5–2 nm, ie, nanodiamonds) form of
hydrogen-terminated cubic diamond. Only the lower members of this series, which starts …

The optical spectra of hydrogen-passivated diamond clusters (diamondoids) precisely
defined in size and shape have been measured in the gas phase, ie, under an environment …

The unusual electronic properties of diamondoids, the nanoscale relatives of diamond,
make them attractive for applications ranging from drug delivery to field emission displays …
