A simple supramolecular method for the direct self‐assembly of comb‐like complexes composed of hydrocarbon polymers and perfluorocarbon mesogens is described. Halogen bonding is highly directional, so that perfluoroalkyl residues with their rigid rod‐like architecture result in materials with a beautiful comb‐like structure. The Figure shows an ORTEP view of such co‐crystals.
