Six packs : Hydrogen‐bonded pyrogallol[4]arene hexameric nanocapsules self‐assemble into spheres (A; see picture), tubules, and combinations of both (B) on the sub‐micron scale. These assemblies were characterized by using dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (see inset), and atomic force microscopy techniques.
