Many thousands of papers are published on the spheroidal fullerene cages (e.g., C₆₀, C₇₀) and carbon nanotubes (e.g., SWNT, MWNT). What if there existed a family of nanocarbons that was 1/2 tubular and 1/2 fullerene? What properties would they exhibit? Theoretical calculations do predict a family of tubular fullerenes having C₆₀ endcaps but with sequential additions of 10 belt carbons for elongation. Such a pattern would be C₆₀, C₇₀, C₈₀, C₉₀, C₁₀₀, C₁₁₀, C₁₂₀ and so forth. With C₆₀ and C₇₀ already well-characterized, we searched for other family members. To date, we have developed a chemical-based method that selectively separates tubular versus spheroidal species. In this presentation, I will discuss our newly isolated nanotubular C₉₀-D_5h(1) and nanotubular C₁₀₀-D_5d(1) fullerenes and how we purified them.....29 years after the electric-arc synthesis had made them. We believe these nanotubular fullerenes were hidden in fullerene soot by their low yields (<0.05% of the soluble extract). Now, they are finally purified.
