Understanding the chemistry of BNNT is a crucial step toward their ultimate practical use. A comparative study of Reactions A （ASWCNT （5,5） and CCl2） and B （ASWBNNT （5,5） and CCl2） have been performed by using ONIOM （B3LYP/6-31G＊： AM1） method in Gaussian03 program package. The results show that （1） the two reactions are both exothermic; （2） the mechanism of Reaction B is a two-step mechanism; （3） the difference in energy barriers suggests that the reaction of CCl2 with BNNT is easier than with CNT; （4） in reaction B, CCl2 prefers to attack the boron atom of BNNT first.
