Electron transport in π‐stacked systems plays a vital role in biological systems, organic electronics, and materials science. In their Communication on page 5708 ff., M. Kiguchi, M. Fujita et al. report the successful formation of, and single‐molecule conductance in, molecular junctions comprising discrete assemblies of π‐stacked aromatic molecules enclosed within self‐assembled coordination cages. The single‐molecule π‐stacks exhibit good conductance and show only a moderate loss with increasing transport length.
