The utility of an amino acid based diamide in seeded supramolecular polymerization is demonstrated by S. Ogi, K. Matsumoto, and S. Yamaguchi in their Communication on page 2339 ff. The spontaneous aggregation (right pathway) of diamides in an extended form is effectively retarded by folding of the diamide moiety through intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Under such out‐of‐equilibrium conditions, the time course of the self‐assembly was successfully regulated through a seeding approach (left pathway).
