Uniaxially oriented and highly ordered columnar superstructure of cobalt octa‐( n ‐decylthio)porphyrazine (CoS10) on a large area of substrate has been fabricated, simultaneously utilizing an applied magnetic field and the interaction of CoS10 with an OTS‐functionalized substrate. This very simple and straightforward alignment technique can be instrumental for practical applications of discotic supramolecular systems including various organoelectronic devices.
