Unprecedented information concerning how the relative roles of different hydrophobic effects evolve during multistep hydrophobic assembly processes is provided by using a unique type of experiment to resolve the underlying energetics of individual growth steps in the formation of a structurally well‐defined micelle‐like organic aggregate of n ‐butyrate ions within a porous inorganic‐oxide nanocapsule.
