As just a single chain? No, I think you'll always at least end up with a couple of Hydrogen atoms at the ends.

However, carbon nanotubes can be very long molecules and are comprised of just a single element (carbon). They aren't a single large chain, but rather a hexagonal lattice (graphene) that has been rolled up into a cylinder
