Soft matter with a hard core : Through Pt II ⋅⋅⋅Pt II and hydrophobic interactions, planar organoplatinum(II) cations with chloride or sulfate as counterions self‐organize themselves in water into red‐emissive, chromonic, and viscoelastic mesophases from which aligned films and discrete uniaxial microfibers with cofacial molecular orientations can be readily prepared.
