Nanotubes can be described as the newest star in the evening sky of nanotechnology. Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes , this nano-structure has grasped the mind of many. This structure has many application possibilities ranging from liquid and gas storage to microelectronics and sub wavelength optical components and fibers. In our presentation we will give an introduction to multiwall nanotubes made from Tetrabenzofluorene(Tbf)-derivates. These Tbf-nanotubes have attracted interest because of their many properties, e.g. crystallization and waveguiding. Our nanotubes are prepared by the elegant and simple process of template assisted assembly. The assembly process will be presented together with specific properties of different Tbf-nanotubes. By changing growth parameters in the assembly process we have a method for probing fundamental questions and properties of our nanotubes. One future application of our nanotubes could be as an active element in a photovoltaic device.
