The theta‐shaped amphiphilic structure together with the charge density and rigidity of the cobaltabisdicarbollide (mono‐)anion ([3,3′‐Co(1,2‐C 2 B 9 H 11 ) 2 ] − , COSAN − ) lead to an unconventional aggregation behavior. In their Communication on page 5298 ff., P. Bauduin and co‐workers describe the concentration‐dependent formation of both vesicles and micelles in water.
