Nanostructured poly( p ‐xylylene) thin‐film templates are used for Ni deposition. Noncovalent adsorption of metal‐binding ligand to a thin film anchors a palladium catalyst and leads to selective metallization. The template facilitates complete control over the morphology and topology of the deposited Ni (see figure).
