Fish out of water: Amphiphilic tetrakis(2,6-xylylisocyanide)rhodium(I) complexes can self-assemble in water, through RhI⋅⋅⋅RhI and hydrophobic interactions, into ultralong crystalline nanowires and in turn hierarchically organize into a variety of ordered micro- and macrostructures. These solution-processable organometallic superstructures are luminescent in the near-infrared (NIR) region and are electrically conducting.
