During the last 30 years, theoretical scientists imagined segmental families of monolayer carbon tubules with fullerene-based end-caps. These fullertube molecules would possess structural features of both fullerenes (hemispherical end-caps) and tubular belts of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Yet, their experimental verification remained elusive for decades. It was not until 2020–2023 that segmental families of fullertubes were finally confirmed in the lab. The shocking irony is that these fullertubes were unwittingly coproduced alongside fullerenes (e.g., C_60, C_70, C₈₄) in both flame and electric arc soot since the 1990s. Yet, nobody knew these “hidden” families of fullertubes were experimentally present in their extracted soot due to their low abundance and the absence of isolation methodology.

Fullertubes：一个长期失踪的可溶性碳分子家族的 30 年预测、实验验证和应用故事

在过去的 30 年里，理论科学家设想了具有基于富勒烯的端盖的单层碳管的分段族。这些富勒管分子将具有富勒烯（半球形端盖）和单壁碳纳米管（SWCNT）管状带的结构特征。然而，他们的实验验证几十年来仍然难以捉摸。直到2020-2023年，富勒管的节段家族才最终在实验室得到证实。令人震惊的讽刺是，自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，这些富勒管在火焰和电弧烟灰中不知不觉地与富勒烯（例如 C _60、 C _70、 C ₈₄ ）一起生产。然而，没有人知道这些“隐藏”的富勒管家族在实验中存在于提取的烟灰中，因为它们的丰度较低且缺乏分离方法。
