Microtubes composed of rolled up layers of nickel sulfide can be prepared under mild conditions. The mechanism is proposed to involve self-assembly of Ni(NH3)2+6 into ordered arrays via hydrogen bonding interactions with water, followed by conversion to NiS layers upon addition of CS2. The layers then roll up when heated (see Scheme).
