It's hip to be square : Self‐assembly of bis(β‐diketone) linkers with 90° or 120° angles and square‐planer‐coordinated divalent copper ions gives rise to the formation of nano‐sized M 4 L 4 ‐type neutral metal–organic supramolecular macrocycles, which show promise towards encapsulating solvent or guest molecules.
