An iodination, a protodesilylation, and a Pd/Cu‐catalyzed cross coupling are the three reactions needed to successively double the length of molecular units to form 1 , a 128 Å long linear 16‐mer, in a doubling sequence with only four iterations. Compound 1 could possibly serve as a molecular wire in molecular electronics studies.
