Infinite channels with a diameter 10.5 Å are formed by the DNA‐base hybrid 1 in the solid state. These channels arise because 1 specifically communicates the hydrogen bonding codes of the nucleobases cytosine and guanine (“C” and “G”) to unambiguously assemble hexagonal, macrocyclic aggregates 1 6 , which overlap in the crystal.
