As the primary structures of inorganic nanoparticles, such as size and shape, determine their physical and chemical properties, the control of such structures is prerequisite for both the elucidation of structure-dependent properties and the direct assembly of hierarchical structures.[1–8] When a nanoparticle consists of two distinct chemical species, the distribution of chemical species becomes another determinant for its properties and functions.[9–11] In general, this chemical synthesis provides us with chemically disordered alloys or core–shell structures, in which two distinct chemical species isotropically distribute. Recently, anisotropically phase-segregated nanoparticles have become accessible and received much attention as a result of two important features. First, one can simultaneously utilize two different functions such as luminescence and magnetic properties. Second, two distinct functional ligands can be anisotropically arranged at the surface of these particles, thus leading to a directed assembly of micro-and nanostructures. These materials could either be a plasmonic metal and a semiconductor, a plasmonic metal and a magnetic oxide, or other combinations.[12–19] Among them, a combination of distinct metal chalcogenide nanoparticles would have great potential for various applications, including biological labeling, light-emitting diodes, and so on.[18] Recently, we succeeded in the spontaneous formation of anisotropically phase-segregated Co–Pd sulfide acornshaped nanoparticles (“nanoacorns”).[20] Here we report the synthesis and characterization of a new type of Pd–Co–Pd sulfide heterostructured nanoparticle based on PdSx seedmediated growth and demonstrate that this method has a potential to yield various anisotropically phase-segregated heterostructures.On the basis of our proposed mechanism for the formation of Co–Pd sulfide “nanoacorns”, in which the Co9S8 phases anisotropically grow from preformed PdSx nanoparticles, the PdSx nanoparticles are the key material for the formation of heterostructures.[20] Accordingly, the PdSx seed-mediated synthesis of anisotropically phase-segre-
