Abstract

A low-molecular-mass molecule with no long alkyl chain, a mixed-valence 9,9′-dimethyl-3,3′-bicarbazyl, is self-assembled into highly-regular straight micro/nanotubes by the one-step electro-oxidation of its precursor, 9-methylcarbazole, in methanol without templates. The driving force of the tube formation is investigated.
