C 3 ‐symmetric lactams in a tube : Specially designed rigid disc‐shaped macrolactams self‐assemble as endless tubes by means of backbone–backbone hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts (see scheme). All the tubes with very strong dipoles further aggregate in a parallel fashion and all the dipoles are still oriented in the same direction.
