The pipes, the pipes are calling : Organic parallelogram‐shaped pipes of micrometer dimensions have been obtained by simply allowing drops of a solution of low‐molecular‐weight compounds to evaporate. This unique structure is formed by self‐templated crystal growth during the evaporation. The mechanism of formation involves two polymorphic crystal forms in dynamic nonequilibrium conditions.
