Taking shape nicely : The shaping of electro‐ and photochemically active calix[4]hydroquinone (CHQ) into nanoplates, ‐polygons and ‐tubes and their dynamic conversion into nanospheres and ‐hemispheres is demonstrated (see figure). CHQ nanostructures can be used to produce nanoshells and ‐cups with diverse shapes and sizes for a range of noble‐metal‐ coated highly tunable plasmonic materials, generated without additional reducing agent.
