Know your onions : Layered onionlike assemblies of surfactant‐encapsulated polyoxometalates have been constructed in organic solution (see TEM image of (DODA) 4 SiW 12 O 40 ; DODA=dimethyldioctadecylammonium). The hybrid structure arises from the rearrangement of surfactants on the polyoxometalate, which is driven by hydrophobic forces.
