Critical structural switch : A small initial difference in the angle within bidentate ligands (see scheme) is amplified into an incommensurable difference in the resultant structures (M 12 L 24 or M 24 L 48 ). This molecular‐level emergent behavior was predicted from the empirical threshold of the ligand bend angle, determined by a ligand mixing experiment, for the critical M 12 L 24 /M 24 L 48 switchover.
