Pancakes in tubes : Coronenes, a class of planar π‐conjugated molecules, organize in 1D structures when using single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as templates (see picture). Coronene columns with coaxial stacking in SWCNTs exhibit characteristic fluorescence spectra that significantly differ from those of isolated coronene molecules and three‐dimensional crystals and that are related to their well‐ordered 1D structure.
