A genuinely supramolecular approach to transition‐metal helicates is presented in which eight simple components (four ions and four small molecules) self‐assemble to form dinuclear double helicates, where the ligand strands are built up through hydrogen‐bonding interactions (see picture). The self‐assembly process was found to be highly stereoselective.
