title: Direct functionalization of self-assembled nanotubes overcomes unfavorable self-assembling processes.
abstract: Diamides containing alkyne and azido were self-assembled into nanotubes and were reacted under their self-assembled state with small molecules by "click chemistry"; the resulting compounds remain self-assembled into new nanotubes that cannot be formed by simple self-assembly of the constituting molecules.
