Special guests : A cooperative double induced‐fit process leads to the 1+1+1+1 self‐assembly of quaternary complexes comprising two complementary calix[6]arene‐based hosts and their specific guests (see picture). The guests direct self‐assembly by shaping their hosts. Such allosteric control involves multiple recognition levels reminiscent of those in biology.
