The self‐assembly of fifteen components at one go —nine Ag + ions and six rigid, linear 6,6′‐bis[2‐(6‐methylpyridyl)]‐3,3′‐bipyridazine ligands—leads to formation of a 3 × 3 grid, a schematic representation of which is shown on the right. This type of inorganic supramolecular structure is expected have novel physical properties and open up new possibilities for information storage.
