A new type of potentially helical ligand is represented by 1 . The twist of the molecule's chain required to form double helical complexes by self‐organization occurs at the CC bonds between the arene rings. Ligand 1 forms double helical complexes with Cu + , Ag + , and Ni 2+ salts. A crystal structure analysis of the complex [Ni 2 (OAc) 2 ( lb ) 2 ](PF 6 ) 2 revealed neither intermetallic interactions nor stacking interactions between almost coplanar rings.
