N2 - Nanomaterials are the building blocks of nanotechnology. Recently, nanotube materials
have attracted considerable attention due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Here we
discuss how nanotubes can be used as templates for preparation of a new family of materials, the
nanoporous single crystals, and for the preparation of metal sulfide nanotube materials. Today, the
characterization of these materials depends heavily on electron microscopy. However, as rational
synthesis schemes are becoming available, more well-defined, homogeneous nanotube samples will
be produced and the role of diffraction techniques may increase.
