Abstract: | A family of bamboo‐like metal–organic nanotubes consisting of in situ synthesized macromolecular blocks (MB) is reported. The MBs are composed of six fac‐(CO)3Re cores, one benzene‐1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexaolate plate, and six pyridine‐derivative pillar ligands, which have a doubly tri‐legged geometry and can be mutually assembled, piece by piece. This entire system is characterized as a simple but precise supramolecular complexation of these macromolecular blocks and further introduces an archetypal approach to systematically constructing a tunable form of dissectible molecular bamboo tubes. |
