The concept of 'metal-complex-as-amphiphile', in which metal complexes act as components of metallo-micelles, is well established. 1,2 However, an alternative concept, that of 'metal-complex-as-micelle', in which a single metal complex imitates the structure and behaviour of a complete micelle, has not yet been described. Here we report an example of such a metal complex. The structure is shown generically in Fig. 1a, and can be seen as a hybrid of a ...
