A simple evaporation method for the preparation of mosaic mesocrystal thin films is studied by Helmut Cölfen and co‐workers. As reported on page 1547 , the multistep process starts with the formation of a polymer–induced liquid–precursor phase, followed by the formation of spherulitic thin films and their recrystallization into mesocrystal thin films. The image shows a polarized light (Abrio) image of a mesocrystalline thin film of dl ‐lysine·HCl.
