The synthesis of nanoscale materials with atomic level definition remains an unmet challenge. We are inspired by systems that are inherently synthesized as polydispersions. An important class of materials in this category, with no molecular analogue, are carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In this talk we describe our progress towards the creation of new cylindrical aromatic nanotubes – termed <i>tubularenes</i> – that resemble CNTs in shape. These best represent armchair and zigzag-type nanotubes. Their design allows for metal coordination into the walls and terminal ring of the nanotube. Synthesis, characterization, and properties of these carbon-based nanotubes will be discussed.
