On page 3209 , Sorin Melinte, Philippe Dubois, Roberto Lazzaroni, Nicola Armaroli, and Davide Bonifazi, and co‐workers present new insights into the structural and photophysical properties of porphyrin—double‐walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) hybrid materials. Contrary to previous observations in solution, the spectral features of porphyrin—nanotube derivatives recorded in the solid state show the presence J ‐ and H ‐type aggregates that influence the performance of optoelectronic devices. A covalent porphyrin—nanotube hybrid promotes J ‐type, head‐to‐tale, aggregation whereas the non‐covalent hybrid exhibits typical face‐to‐face H ‐type assembly.
