title: Rigid organic nanotubes obtained from phenylene-butadiynylene macrocycles.
abstract: Rigid organic nanotubes were prepared from six-membered phenylene-butadiynylene macrocycles through topochemical polymerization in the xerogel state. All six butadiyne units underwent polymerization, thus creating rigid nanotubes with six polydiacetylene chains lying parallel, one relative to each other.
