Cross‐fertilization between organometallic and supramolecular chemistry opens new ways of understanding and interpreting the solid state structures, leading to a distinct new discipline. Intermolecular interactions of various types occur in solid state, leading to self‐assembly and self‐organization of organometallic molecular species. Self‐assembly through hydrogen bonds, dative (coordinate) bonds, soft‐soft (secondary bond) and pi‐bond interactions, illustrate the great diversity of the bonding motifs available for supramolecular self‐assembly in organotin and organolead chemistry.
