Vanadium oxide nanotubes (Cn‐VOx‐NTs) contain α‐monoamines (CnH2n+1NH2 with 4≤n≤22) as templates intercalated between crystalline VOx layers comprising multilayer tube walls. The present study reveals that a large proportion of the amines can easily be exchanged by metal cations. The tubular morphol...
