Holey balls! Novel microspheres made up of nanoplates have been fabricated by porphyrin‐polymer‐assisted supramolecular self‐assembly of C 60 . The obtained C 60 microspheres are single‐crystalline and exhibit pure fcc structure. This is a rare example of a hierarchical supramolecular architecture fabricated by the self‐assembly of unmodified C 60 .
