Constructive nanolithography is a template‐controlled self‐assembly strategy that is extended here to the construction of hybrid metal–organic surface nanostructures. The Figure depicts a metallic silver island self‐assembled on a top‐functionalized thiosilane monolayer, the island being grown in situ from silver nanoparticles generated by tip‐induced electrochemical reduction of surface‐bound metal ions.
