The band structures of two series of chiral single-walled gold nanotubes (5,
n
2
) and (10,
n
2
) have been calculated using the cylindrical wave method with inclusion of spin–orbit coupling. Compounds with high spin polarizability of the electronic structure and spin selectivity of conductivity have been revealed. They can be used as materials for design of molecular spintronics elements.
