Another form of molecular self‐assembly —the threading and unthreading of ring‐shaped molecules on a polymer chain (represented schematically here) was studied by NMR spectroscopy and followed qualitatively for the formation of polymeric inclusion compounds made up of cyclodextrins and poly‐(iminooligomethylene)s. The structures of the polymeric inclusion compounds are proven by their conversion to polyrotaxanes.
