The walls of vanadium oxide nanotubes (VOx‐NTs) are built up by vanadate layers between which the structure‐directing template, either a primary amine or a diamine with long alkyl chain, is located. The feasibility of various exchange reactions under preservation of the tubular morphology indicates...
