The development of a surfactant‐driven route to control multifold assemblies of monodispersed gold nanoparticles dimensions controlled into one, two‐, and three dimensional architectures is reported. By using a self‐assembly route with careful choice of ligands, a tunable multi‐dimensional assembly of quantum‐sized gold nanoparticles arranged in a broad range of configurations is achieved.
