A redox‐responsive hybrid of polyoxometalate and conducting oligomer including its self‐assemblies with controllable morphologies are reported. To this end, a hybrid molecule, containing a Lindqvist hexamolybdate as the polar head group and N,N′‐ bis(4′‐amino‐2,6‐dimethylphenyl)‐1,4‐quinonediimine as the redox‐responsive and aggregating group, is prepared. This hybrid exhibits redox‐responsive behavior with controllable assembling morphological transition from spherical vesicles to short cylindrical vesicles. Besides, the hybrid‐based self‐assemblies are transferred to the surface, thus the surface wettability can be well‐tuned owing to the morphological transitions of the self‐assemblies. By marrying conducting materials with polyoxometalate chemistry, this research opens a new horizon of polyoxometalate‐based self‐assembled systems with potential applications in functional materials.
