Molecule‐within‐molecule complexes are widely used in supramolecular chemistry for studies of molecular recognition and catalysis. Self‐assembled hosts isolate their guests from the bulk media and reveal unique molecular behaviors. An assembly that features well‐differentiated and non‐interacting binding sites stabilized through hydrogen‐bonding interactions is described (see picture).
