Self-assembled two- and three-dimensional highly ordered aggregates of standing gold nanorods were obtained over unprecedentedly large superlattice domains. In their Communication on page 9484 ff., A. Guerrero-Martínez, L. M. Liz-Marzán, and co-workers report how the use of gemini surfactants was crucial for the growth of monodisperse nanorods and induction of the self-assembled structures into extended superlattices, which also display anisotropic optical response.
