On p. 100 ff. a double‐walled carbon nanotube is covalently functionalized at the external wall with pyridyl units that are able to establish apical coordinative bonds with zinc porphyrin. H. García, F. Langa et al. show that upon light excitation of the zinc porphyrin energy transfer from the macrocylic metal complex to the double‐wall carbon nanotube takes place efficiently.
