Seeing the right face : Mono‐ and bifunctionalized Janus particles with controllable chemical patchiness are prepared by a general masking/unmasking technique and subsequent chemical functionalization (see picture). Supramolecular “host”‐ and “guest”‐functionalized Janus particles were prepared, and specific noncovalent host–guest interactions were used to controllably assemble heterogeneous particles.
