Intensive studies related to the synthesis and characterization of linear carbon chains have been carried out recently because these sp-bonded carbon allotropes exhibit unique optical properties and are thought to behave as one-dimensional (1D) conducting materials.[1–3] In particular, Raman techniques have been utilized for obtaining structural information about traditional linear sp carbon chains, whose characteristic vibrations appear at around 2000–2200 cmÀ1.[4, 5]More recently, characteristic Raman lines located at 1855 cmÀ1 were observed on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) prepared by arc discharge in a hydrogen atmosphere.[6] Based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and air-stability studies, the Raman band at 1855 cmÀ1 was assigned to the presence of a linear carbon chain located in the hollow core of arc-produced MWNTs.[6–8] In this context, our group has identified the occurrence of linear carbon chains during the coalescence of double-walled (DW) NTs using resonant Raman spectroscopy.[9, 10] We noted the appearance of a sharp Raman line located at% 1855 cmÀ1, which is related to vibrations of short linear carbon chains, and is observed to be a precursor of the merging of adjacent DWNTs.[9, 10] This vibrational mode was therefore named the coalescence-inducing mode (CIM) and we assigned the CIM
