Modulation of nanotube packing through the controlled self-assembly of tris-p-carboxylatocalix[4]arenes.
Crystallisation of tris-carboxylatocalix[4]arenes from pyridine affords self-assembled layered and triply helical nanotubular arrays; the latter of these represents a modulation of nanotubule spacing in a persistent self-assembly motif.
