Unprecedented electro‐optic (EO) activity and excellent alignment stability at 85 °C are demonstrated through rational design of a new series of dendronized polyenic chromophores capable of supramolecular self‐assembly directed by fine‐tuned arene–perfluoroarene interactions. Analysis of the EO properties showed exceptional poling efficiency for these molecular glasses at high chromophore number density.
