Selective Synthesis of Single- and Multi-Walled Supramolecular Nanotubes by Using Solvophobic/Solvophilic Controls: Stepwise Radial Growth via “Coil-on-Tube” Intermediates
solvated in C6F6 (solvophilic effect) and do not assemble, whereas in CH2Cl2, they are excluded (solvophobic effect) and assemble together consequently. For example, the use of C6F6 and CH2Cl2 as assembling media for FHBC leads to the selective formation of single‐ and multi‐walled nanotubes, respectively. When a higher monomer concentration is applied in CH2Cl2, multi‐walled nanotubes with a larger number
