2. The naming convention we have used in the past to describe the composition of the nanostructures was based on polymer nomenclature, despite the fact that the nanostructures are not polymeric in nature. In this work, we have described linear nanostructures derived from benzaldehyde as "benzaldehyde lines"; however, the line growth process results in the reduction of the aldehyde moiety, giving lines of phenylcarbinolyl covalently bonded to the silicon surface.
