Dendritic surfactant‐encapsulated polyoxometalate complexes with different numbers of dendrons have been prepared. With an increasing number of dendrons, the complex dendrimers change from globular assembled states to monodispersions in solution and from lamellar to hexagonal columnar structures in the solid state. In the Full Paper on page 8062 ff., L. Wu et al. reveal a new strategy for the incorporation of inorganic clusters into organized organic matrices, and provide a simple route for controlling assembled structures through tuning of the components of the dendrimers.
