Stacking up : One‐dimensional single‐crystalline rectangular nanotubes (RNTs) of 5,10,15,20‐tetra(4‐pyridyl)porphyrin (H 2 TPyP, see picture) are synthesized by a vaporization–condensation–recrystallization process. The single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and selected‐area electron diffraction data reveal that the H 2 TPyP RNTs form by self‐stacking of H 2 TPyP units through hydrogen‐bonding, H–π, and π–π intermolecular interactions.
