Summary: Polypyrrole (PPy) microtubes with an actinomorphic morphology are synthesized by a chemical method in the presence of an inclusion complex (IC) of mono [6‐deoxy‐6‐(2‐butenedinitrile‐2,3‐dimercapto sodium salt)]‐ β ‐cyclodextrin (6‐mnt‐ β ‐CD) with methyl orange (MO) as a dopant in aqueous solution. The morphologies of the obtained PPy were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that the IC of 6‐mnt‐ β ‐CD with MO significantly affects the morphology of the resulting PPy.The morphology of polypyrrole synthesized in the presence of 6‐mnt‐ β ‐CD/MO, determined by TEM.
