The conformational information of an oligoheterocyclic strand containing a repeating pyridine – pyridazine codon self‐organizes into a helical molecular unit, which subsequently self‐assembles into helical fibers and macrofibers in dichloromethane and pyridine. The spontaneous formation of helical structures is based on a general self‐organization process enforced by the conformational information encoded within the molecular strand itself.
