Halogen bonding has been exploited in the assembly of an interpenetrated molecular system. The strength of chloride‐anion‐templated pseudorotaxane formation with a 2‐bromo‐functionalized imidazolium threading component and an isophthalamide macrocycle (see picture) is significantly enhanced compared to hydrogen‐bonded pseudorotaxane analogues.
