End‐to‐end connectivity of Au nanorods (NRs) employing bis(terpyridine)–metal (Fe II or Cd II ) complexes has been demonstrated, along with their facile disassembly and reassembly. Biased surfactant adsorption at the side‐walls allowed the predominant, end‐facet modification of the NRs. Characterization included UV/Vis and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and TEM imaging.
