Well‐defined surfactant self‐assembled microstructures are needed to take full advantage of the templating strategy for the generation of nanoparticles with controlled size and anisometry, as demonstrated here. For example, at a high concentration of Cu(AOT) 2 (AOT = bis(ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate) in isooctane–water the micellar supra‐aggregate depicted in the Figure forms, and spherical copper metal particles are produced.
