Down to the wire : A simple vapor‐transport process using linear diphenylalanine as the starting material has resulted in the self‐assembly of cyclodipeptide nanowires with an orthorhombic symmetry. Furthermore, the single‐crystalline nanowires exhibit a strong blue luminescence centered at 465 nm and possess semiconducting properties (see picture).
