Our childhoods may be recalled when a self‐complementary cation, endowed with both a dibenzo[24]crown‐8 macroring and a secondary dialkylammonium sidearm, self‐assembles to form a two‐component supramolecular architecture that is reminiscent of a daisy chain (depicted schematically on the right). This daisy‐chain‐like superarchitecture is stabilized by a combination of [N + −H⋅⋅⋅O] hydrogen bonds and aryl–aryl stacking interactions.
