Layer-by-layer deposition of π-assembled arrays of discrete metallo units with aryl tails and polystyrenesulfonate gives structurally well-defined thin films. The formation of these films, which is controlled by π-π interactions, metal-ion coordination, and electrostatic interactions, bridges the gap between supramolecular crystal engineering and design of layered materials.
