Communication: Side‐chain LCPs containing both a crown ether and a mesogenic group in each structural unit of the polymer are reported based on the monomer shown in the figure. Liquid crystals containing macroheterocyclic ligands are of interest since they provide a novel approach to self‐assembled systems which combine selective recognition with external regulation.
