Clear evidence that both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions play a key role in the growth of organic–inorganic composite mesostructures is given in this communication. The use of micropatterned self‐assembled monolayers covered with an organic–inorganic film (see Figure) unveils that the film coverage depends on the substrate used.
