Mod squad : Multiple small molecules appear to spontaneously self‐assemble to form supramolecular amine catalysts that have high reactivity, good efficiency, and enhanced turnover numbers. These modular organocatalysts should be applicable to many iminium as well as hydrogen‐bond catalytic reactions and provide new insights into asymmetric catalysis.
