Re: [Sci.nanotech] Nanotube Periodic Table?

As nanotubes are now being processed in the lab
(and some for

actually an attempt to create a nanotube periodic

these different types?

An encyclopedae-ic classification scheme for carbon
allotropes in general, would be a nice tool to have.
The boundaries wouldn't be as fixed as for The
Periodic Table of Elements, but for instance, under
some conditions low-curvature CNT surfaces behave like
another allotrope flat surface (can't remember if
graphene and/or diamond at the moment). Some surface
characteristics of "bucky-diamond" also overlap with
Higher Diamondoids and fullerenes.
There are many carbon allotrope geometries.
