Several supramolecular architectures generated by guanosine derivatives are described. The research started from the fortuitous observation of a lyotropic behavior exhibited by a guanylic nucleotide in water. This observation stimulated extensive research on several natural and lipophilic guanosine derivatives which self‐assemble in different architectures (discs, ribbons, helices . . .), according to their structure and environment. These ordered structures can be used as scaffolds for photo‐ or electro‐active moieties and for the fabrication of molecular electronic devices. © 2004 The Japan Chemical Journal Forum and John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
