Supramolecular chemistry does not stop at organometallic compounds , as two recent articles of Gokel and co‐workers show. Redox‐controlled vesicles can be formed from cholesteryl‐substituted ferrocenes, and the linking of two ferrocene units as in 1 affords novel receptors. The spacer R allows different diamines to be bound to 1. The required spatial orientation of the carboxylic acid residues is achieved by rotation of the cyclopentadienyl rings.
