Highly ordered two‐dimensional sheets sustained by π‐donor/π‐acceptor interactions and the ability to form an inclusion complex with ferrocene with only minimal changes in crystal packing are the outstanding features of the macrocyclic tetracation 1 . This cyclophane can be prepared in two steps from bipyridine and the dibromide 2 .
