Uniform carbon/Co nanorods with unique cross‐sections (see Figure), Co/carbon core/shell nanospheres, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes are selectively prepared in high yield by solid‐state thermolysis of polyphenylene dendrimer/cobalt complexes under controlled heating procedures. The obtained materials have potential catalytic and magnetic applications.
