Supramolecular organization of organic amphiphiles with rigid molecular architecture can lead to persistent nontrivial packing arrangements. Wormlike cylindrical micelles of a rigid T‐shaped dendro‐calixrene (see image) are shown to be effective not only in curtailing the growth and macroscopic aggregation of CdS nanoparticles but also in promoting the surface organization of 2‐nm‐sized quantum dots.
