Control of crystal growth is the aim of much research. Here the co‐aligned nucleation of CdS semiconductor particles onto an acidic poly(diacetylene) (PDA) thin‐film membrane is reported. Characterization by electron microscopy and electron diffraction and the relationship between the CdS and PDA are discussed. The Figure shows an electron micro‐diffraction pattern of the (011) orientation of CdS crystallites.
