Aligning the layers : Immersing an Au(111) substrate successively into solutions of zinc( II ) octaethylporphyrin and an open‐cage C 60 derivative in benzene results in the latter species exhibiting a well‐defined electrochemical response as a consequence of the formation of a 1:1 supramolecular assembly (see picture). STM has been used to analyze the internal structure, orientation, and packing arrangement of the layers.
