Linear organopalladium complex fragments and 4,7‐phenanthroline are the building blocks for supramolecular arrays containing a molecular Pd 6 hexagon (depicted on the right). The X‐ray structure analysis shows that the phenanthroline moieties form the “corners”, and the palladated aromatic units the “walls” of these rigid nanoscale molecules.
