The assembly line : Hexabenzocoronene amphiphiles appended with pyridyl‐terminated triethylene glycol side chains, in combination with trans ‐[Pt(PhCN) 2 Cl 2 ], lead to the formation of graphitic nanotubes. The structural features and dimensions of the nanotubes depend on the assembly conditions. A platinum(II)‐bridged cyclic dimer having two HBC units self‐assembles into a nanotubular structure.
