Conducting polymer nanowires and nanorings (see Figure) can be synthesized using the strategy described here—electrochemical growth on gold electrodes modified with self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of well‐separated thiolated cyclodextrins in an alkanethiol “forest”. Thiolated aniline monomer is anchored to the surface within the cyclodextrin cavity and forms an initiation point for polymer wire growth.
