The miniaturization of electronic components has initiated a technical revolution during the past decades. For further miniaturization down to the molecular or atomic range the synthesis of building elements on a nanometer scale is necessary. This article gives an overview of inorganic nanotubes with diameters within the range of 10–100 Å, whose characteristic properties can be varied from metallic to high‐temperature resistant or redox active, depending upon the raw material and the synthesis procedure.
