Abstract

We report a synthetic approach for the assembly of Fe^III complexes via hydrogen bonded water aggregates to give coordination networks that contain separated hydrophobic organic and hydrophilic inorganic areas; the amphiphilicity of the reaction system allows assembly into nanosized vesicular spheres that obey the building principles of the related crystalline solids.
