Control of the progressive growth of porphyrin triads from 0D to multidimensional nanostructures is achieved. Electron‐microscopy images vividly record the growth process and confirm that the molecules are able to self‐assemble into spherical vesicles, thereafter continually growing into tadpole‐like vesicles, nanotubes, and Y‐like nanotubes.
