Mmm—stacks of donuts! A one‐dimensional n‐type nanotube was formed by stacking rings formed from the bolaamphiphilic self‐assembly of 1,4,5,8‐naphthalenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (NDI) with L ‐lysine headgroups (see picture). Solid‐state NMR studies demonstrate the exceptional conformational homogeneity of the constituent molecules that make up the nanotubes.
