Porphyrin and Phthalocyanine Chemistry

Unlike many small carbon nanotubes, VOx nanotubes (shown on the right) are obtained as the main product of a direct chemical synthesis at relatively low temperatures. The multiwalled material contains template molecules between the individual shells, which by a simple cation exchange can be removed without destruction of the tubes.
