Come together : Self‐assembly can drive the formation of conjugated imine polymers in water, and stabilization of otherwise unstable imine bonds is used to obtain fully π‐conjugated, responsive dynamic covalent polyimines in aqueous environments. Both the optical properties and the aggregate morphology can be tuned by varying the aromatic monomers.
