Fullerenes do the conga! Synthesis and self‐recognition of a monomer featuring a specially designed receptor for [60]fullerene are described. The monomer self‐assembles in a head‐to‐tail fashion through π–π interactions, thus forming a linear oligomeric species in solution (see image). The formation of this redox‐amphoteric supramolecular polymer represents a new approach to the controlled organization of electroactive materials.
