Experimental evidence of highly ordered structures , self‐assembled from polydiacetylene‐based molecules, is unveiled. The polydiacetylene structure in the Figure is a typical example of a shape persistent macromolecule—a class of stiff macromolecules featuring a persistent chain trajectory and usually containing a conjugated backbone. X‐ray diffraction data and atomic force microscopy images reveal the skeleton and side chains of these structures.
