Molecular nanotechnology involves the ability to build structures that are permitted by physical laws, to molecular precision.
The other key to practical molecular manufacturing is the ability to fabricate massive quantities of molecularly precise structures, or to assemble larger objects from vast numbers of molecularly precise smaller objects – that is, massively parallel assembly.
The molecular surface characteristics of diamond were extensively investigated both theoretically and experimentally in the 1990s, and many practical questions about the molecular structure of diamond surfaces have now been resolved.

 Nanotechnology: Are 'Molecular Assemblers' Possible?
Drexler predicted a long time ago that these "molecular assemblers" -- devices capable of positioning atoms and molecules for precisely defined reactions in almost any environment -- are not only possible, but will have a huge impact.
Smalley does not think molecular assemblers as envisioned by Drexler are physically possible.
I have given you reasons why such an assembler cannot be built, and will not operate, using the principles you suggest.
