Controlling the size and oriented nucleation of inorganic cyrstals (e.g. see figure) through using organized assemblies of macromolecules can lead to new materials with interesting properties. In this paper, the general importance of stereochemical recognition in monolayer‐induced inorganic crystallization is examined by investigating the influence of three different anionic head groups on the oriented nucleation of BaSO 4
