Functionalized phthalocyaninato‐polysiloxanes can self‐organize at surfaces into ordered rod‐like architectures with a molecular cross‐section, both at the solid‐liquid interface and in dry films after thermal treatment. The hundreds of nanometer long semiconducting cylinders (see Figure and inside cover) with high apparent stiffness are good candidates as molecular nanowires for future molecular scale electronics.
