The assembly of supramolecular polymers from a phosphodiester‐linked dimeric anthracene is described. AFM and TEM imaging reveals that the supramolecular polymers self‐assemble into nanotubes in water. Subsequent photodimerization experiments indicate that the supramolecular polymerization occurs via end‐to‐end stacking rather than an interdigitation arrangement of the building blocks.

磷酸盐连接的二聚蒽在水中的自组装形成超分子纳米管

描述了由磷酸二酯连接的二聚蒽组装超分子聚合物。原子力显微镜（AFM）和透射电镜（TEM）成像表明，超分子聚合物在水中能自组装成纳米管。随后的光二聚化实验表明，超分子聚合是通过端对端堆叠而不是构件的叉指排列而发生的。
