Thermodynamic cat attacks! Iodide‐catalyzed reversible nucleophilic attacks have been exploited to access side‐chain polycatenanes under thermodynamic control. Multiple catenations occurring all along the polymer chain are entirely driven to completion by the intra‐ and intermolecular side‐chain π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions of contiguous catenanes.
