Two become one : An AB‐type monomer containing both 2‐ureido‐4[1 H ]‐pyrimidinone and 2,7‐diamido‐1,8‐naphthyridine quadruple hydrogen‐bonding moieties is obtained by selective olefin cross metathesis. This monomer addresses the issue of stoichiometric imbalance in the self‐assembly of AA+BB‐type supramolecular polymers. Moreover, as the linker between both motifs is quite flexible, this monomer exists as a monocycle at low concentrations.
