Hierarchical supramolecular assemblies of micrometer‐sized flower‐shaped objects (see image) are constructed by transformation of an interdigitated bilayer precursor composed of a fullerene derivative bearing three long aliphatic chains. Intermediate transforming structures provide evidence for the formation mechanism of the flower‐shaped objects.
