Self‐assembled vesicles, structurally equivalent to some hydrotropes, have been obtained from a Zn 2+ –fluorous surfactant or in the mixture of Zn 2+ –fluorous surfactant/zwitterionic surfactant in room‐temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The existence of bilayers arranged in vesicles in RTILs would be very exciting, open several new possibilities as reaction media, and increase our understanding of the physical and chemical factors for self‐assembling systems in RTILs.
