The remarkable phase behavior for binary mixtures of large‐core polynuclear aromatic species and small‐core discogens cannot be explained simply in terms of net quadrupolar or charge‐transfer interactions. The stable π stacking in these mixtures can instead be rationalized by invoking a complimentary polytopic interaction. The picture shows the stacking (in elevation and plan views) between such species.
