Capping CdS nanorods on one side with Au nanoparticles makes these asymmetric nano‐objects amphiphilic. As D. Mandler and co‐workers report in article 1300030, this enables the formation of 2D nanometric monolayers at the liquid/air interface using the LB technique. This interesting system is studied in situ by various methods, such as horizontal touch voltammetry as well as by ex situ approaches upon transferring the films onto solid supports
