A helical syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (st‐PMMA) encapsulates C 60 molecules within its helical cavity to form a supramolecular peapod‐like molecular wire. In their Communication on page 1049 ff., S. Qi, S. Irle, E. Yashima, and co‐workers report that sandwich devices fabricated using this helical st‐PMMA/C 60 inclusion complex exhibit an irreversible electrical switching effect, which results from a violent Coulomb explosion in the peapod C 60 wires during the charge injection process.
