Construction of single‐component supramolecular triangle and unprecedented spontaneous resolution of pairs of intertwined supramolecular 3 1 ‐ and 3 2 ‐double helices by the self‐assembly of achiral 2‐(iodoethynyl)pyridine and its derivatives have been achieved through intermolecular ethynyl C−I⋅⋅⋅⋅N halogen bonds in the crystalline state. Fine‐tuning of the molecular structure of the achiral monomer and choice of solvents for crystallization have a dominant effect on the resultant supramolecular architectures.
