Supramolecular dendrimers have been assembled in solution by using the interactions between dendritic branches functionalized with [18]crown‐6 and a bis‐ammonium cation as a template (see scheme). Disassembly is triggered by the addition of K + ions, which enables controlled release of the encapsulated template.
