Like the proverbial monkey chain one heteroditopic self‐complementary molecule, comprising a crown ether unit and a paraquat unit, catches a second such molecule in solution and thus by self‐organization forms novel linear oligo‐ and polymolecular arrays (shown schematically; the crown ether unit is denoted by the ellipse, and the paraquat unit by the rectangle).
