Recent accomplishments in arranging semiconductor nanoparticles in a desired manner are reviewed. Coupling mechanisms utilized for this purpose include electrostatic and covalent interactions, methods like layer‐by‐layer assembly, solvent‐controlled precipitation and surface amination for covalent attachment of nanoparticles are employed. Dipole–dipole interactions are operative in nanocrystal solids and fast Förster energy transfer is observed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
