Self‐assembled two‐ and three‐dimensional highly ordered aggregates of standing gold nanorods were obtained over unprecedentedly large superlattice domains. In their Communication on page 9484 ff., A. Guerrero‐Martínez, L. M. Liz‐Marzán, and co‐workers report how the use of gemini surfactants was crucial for the growth of monodisperse nanorods and induction of the self‐assembled structures into extended superlattices, which also display anisotropic optical response.
