Abstract
The observed and calculated densities of nanodiamond cannot be reconciled, and the stability of diamond structure explained, if nanodiamond is regarded as a form ofpurecarbon. The surface-terminating hydrogen and functional groups are an integral part in the stability of these particles which therefore need not be as inert and non-toxic as bulk diamond, with important implications for nanomedicine.
