This feature article presents the current research activities that concentrate on one-dimensional (1D) organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructures such as nanowires, nanorods, and nanotubes. The combination of organic and inorganic components in a 1D manner has been an increasingly expanding research field because the synergistic behavior of organic-inorganic materials is bound directly to the charming characteristics of 1D nanomaterials. These are responsible for the many novel optical and electrical properties, hierarchical superstructures, functions, and versatile applications that have been achieved. In this article, after justifying the interest in developing 1D organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, we classify 1D hybrid nanostructures and review construction strategies that have been adopted, with a special focus on template-directed synthesis. In summary, we provide our personal perspectives on the future emphasis of the research on 1D organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructures. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
