Replacement of the charge‐balancing counter cations in the second coordination sphere of polyoxomolybdate 1 by cationic surfactants is a simple and facile method to fabricate surfactant‐encapsulated clusters (SECs) with a well‐defined supramolecular architecture. The resulting SEC is hydrophobic, can be spread at the air‐water interface and forms remarkably ordered thin films.
