The self‐assembly of banana‐ and S‐shaped structures consisting of nine and eleven subunits, respectively, is reported in the Communication by J. Rebek, Jr. and co‐workers on page 12003 ff. Characterization of the bent structures by NMR spectroscopic methods and shape‐selective encapsulation experiments showed that the banana‐shaped molecular capsule could encapsulate a complementary shaped guest that is not encapsulated in the known cylindrical capsules.
