Supramolecular co‐ordination polymers are formed in organic solvents by metal‐directed self‐assembly using 1:1 mixtures of (dppp)M(OTf) 2 complexes (M = Pd(II) or Pt(II), dppp = bis‐(diphenylphosphino)‐ propane, OTf = triflate) and a non‐linear bidentate dipyridyl‐substituted ligand. In aqueous methanol solutions, hollow metallo‐supramolecular vesicles and smaller, completely filled nanospheres form (see image).
