Wheely springy wires : Freestanding and crystalline submicrometer wires, springs, and wheels are grown in aqueous acetonitrile dispersions starting from the organoplatinum(II) complexes 1 and 2 (PF 6 ). The growth mechanism is proposed to involve ligand‐substitution reactions and electrostatic and Pt II ⋅⋅⋅Pt II interactions.
