The covalent linking of noncovalently bound host–guest complexes in the gas phase is achieved by the formation of a highly reactive carbene from the host molecule, which is generated by collision‐activated dissociation. Possible mechanisms for the resulting intermolecular reactions are explored by theory and experiment.
