A [3×3] Ag + 9 metallogrid self‐assembles by a highly complex mechanism involving several intermediates, which may be generated at different metal/ligand stoichiometries. Extensive NMR spectroscopic studies have allowed the unraveling of the structure of these species and have revealed that the final grid entity presents high structural robustness and that the last assembly step (see scheme) occurs with strong cooperativity.
