We research the temperature controlled transformation of Mo6S2I8 nanowires to MoS2 which results in a very rich system of MoS2 nanotube-hybrid structures. The MoS2 nanotube hybrids represent a family of nanomaterials, where nanotubes serve as nanoreactors and in some cases also as nanocontainers of MoS2 fullerenelike particles, which have in situ grown in a confined geometry of nanotubes.

Charge transport measurements on flexible Mo6S3I6 (MoSI) nanowires with different diameters in highly imperfect two-terminal circuits reveal systematic power-law behavior of the conductivity sigma(T,V) as a function of temperature and voltage. On the basis of measurements on a number of circuits we conclude that the behavior in thin wires can be most convincingly described by tunneling through Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid segments of MoSI wire, which is in some cases modified by environmental Coulomb blockade.
