Fish out of water : Amphiphilic tetrakis(2,6‐xylylisocyanide)rhodium(I) complexes can self‐assemble in water, through Rh I ⋅⋅⋅Rh I and hydrophobic interactions, into ultralong crystalline nanowires and in turn hierarchically organize into a variety of ordered micro‐ and macrostructures. These solution‐processable organometallic superstructures are luminescent in the near‐infrared (NIR) region and are electrically conducting.
