Three component nanoparticle superlattices that are isostructural with binary ionic and intermetallic compounds are obtained by co‐crystallization of multi‐component nanoparticles (see figure). Self‐assembly of multicomponent nanoparticles greatly extends the combinations of possible materials types which can be intermixed on the nanoscale.
