Give and take : X‐ or H‐shape superamphiphiles form on the basis of directional charge‐transfer complexes and lead to the formation of one‐dimensional nanorods and two‐dimensional nanosheets, respectively (see picture, blue: pyridinium ion, red: naphthalene derivatives, green: naphthalene diimide). The superstructures form after elaborate tuning of the building block structures.
