The π – π interactions between discrete co‐facially oriented naphthalenediimide (NDI) units in Cyclo‐NDI were modulated by changes in temperature and solvent polarity. As M. Takeuchi et al. report in their Communication page 5254, the tuning of through‐space electronic communication through the conformational transformation between monomer‐ and dimer‐like features of Cyclo‐NDI resulted in a highly sensitive and reversible optical response over a wide range of temperatures.
