Acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) in CH2Cl2of a Gemini-shaped nonionic hexabenzocoronene amphiphile (2), bearing triethylene glycol chains with terminal allylic functionalities, resulted in spontaneous formation of graphitic nanotubes with a cross-linked surface. Without ADMET,2did not self-assemble to form a tubular structure due to a high solubility in CH2Cl2. Although2formed nanotubes in THF, ADMET on the surface of the preformed nanotubes in THF proceeded only sluggishly and resulted in partial disruption of the tubular structure. The cross-linked nanotubes showed a softening temperature (244 °C) higher than that of the uncross-linked version (195 °C) and preserved their hollow structure much longer upon heating.
