Helical phthalocyaninato–polysiloxanes (PSPcs) can self‐organize at surfaces into highly ordered, rod‐like structures with a molecular cross‐section, as is shown schematically on the inside cover and reported by Samori and co‐workers on p. 1265. The inset is a scanning force microscopy image depicting experimentally obtained molecular cylinders with lengths in the range of hundreds of nanometers. The micrometers‐long cylinders so formed have high apparent stiffness and are good candidates for nanoscale photophysics and electronics applications.
