A macrocyclic tetralactam and simple trans ‐palladium dihalide complexes self‐assemble to form [2]pseudorotaxanes. The pseudorotaxane superstructures are formed through second‐sphere coordination of the metal ligands by the macrocyclic component (see picture; red: macrocycle with hydrogen atoms removed, blue: n ‐hexylamine, green: Cl, gray: Pd).
