The preparation of micrometer to nanometer‐sized building blocks that can be selectively
derivatized is reported here. Segmented multi‐metal rods of controllable length (see Cover)
were fabricated by electroplating in porous template membranes. Additionally it is shown
how the surface chemistry of different parts within a single particle can be controlled by
means of orthogonal self‐assembly. Exploiting of the different reactivities of Pt and Au
towards thiols and isocyanides leads to the observation of fluorescence from only the Au …
