Threading nanobeads : Gold nanoparticles (NPs) coated with functional organic ligands are candidate building blocks for the bottom‐up fabrication of nanostructured materials. This Highlight describes a recent approach to achieving bidirectional NP–NP connectivity, which is an essential step in the assembly of NP‐based polymers (see scheme) and more complex nanoarchitectures.
