A novel tin sulfide composite mesostructure is important because of its unique combination of electrical, optical, and liquid‐crystalline properties. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies of the material reported here suggest that its structure is a tin sulfide mimic of a mesh phase—a two‐periodic square mesh surface is illustrated in the Figure—with rhombohedral or monoclinic space symmetry.
