A giant organometallic molecule and a 2D coordination polymer are formed by template‐assisted self‐assembly between CuCl and the cyclo ‐P 5 complex [Cp*Fe(η 5 ‐P 5 )]. The giant capsular molecule exhibits a skeleton of 110 inorganic core atoms and consists of two half‐shells with threefold symmetry. Dipersion forces between two encapsulated [Cp*Fe(η 5 ‐P 5 )] guest complexes and half‐shells are responsible for the cohesion of the capsule (see structure and model; Cp*=η 5 ‐C 5 Me 5 ).
