The liquid‐phase preparation of copper, either as freestanding submicrometer‐thin foil or supported on a substrate, is presented by M. Niederberger et al. in their Communication on page 4743 ff. A solution of copper acetylacetonate initially forms a mirror on the reaction container wall, which then delaminates. When the copper is supported on a flexible substrate, such as Kapton, it can be structured into conduction line patterns.
