A .gro file doesn't have groups.<br>

Sure, I think you want a freeze group of all the nanotube carbons,
and all the carbonyl oxygens. make_ndx will allow you make such a
union.<br>

Groups aren't defined in the coordinate file. If you use a GROMACS
utility that can accept an index file as input, and do not provide
one, then GROMACS generates some standard ones from the coordinate
file. In the case of make_ndx, these are then written out when you
quit.<br>

You're in charge... I don't know what external entity is dictating
what you are "supposed" to do :-)<br>
