Ionic self‐assembly has been used for the formation of well‐defined columnar mesophases. In their Full Paper on page 2189 ff., F. Camerel, R. Ziessel et al. discuss a new electrostatic “LEGO” system from wedge‐shaped ammonium amphiphiles and negatively charged functional molecules. The cover shows an assembly based upon a porphyrin derivative observed by means of optical microscopy between crossed polarizers.
