The preparation of hybrid materials from supramolecular polymers through the sol‐gel process is presented. Supramolecular polymers are assembled from phosphodiester‐linked pyrene oligomers and act as water‐soluble one‐ or two‐dimensional templates for silicification. The fibrillary and planar morphologies of the assemblies, as well as the excitonic interactions between the chromophores, remain unaffected by the silicification process.
