Semiconducting organic–inorganic nanocomposites were synthesized by an unconventional route, as described by H. Xia, Z. Lin et al. in their Communication on page 4636 ff. Using an amphiphilic poly(acrylic acid)‐ block ‐poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PAA‐ b ‐PEDOT) diblock copolymer as the template, monodisperse PEDOT‐functionalized PbTe nanoparticles were prepared. Strong coordinative interactions between the PAA blocks and the precursor metal moieties lead to nanohybrids.
