Abstract The preorganization of bifunctional 2‐ureido‐4‐pyrimidinones mediated by either 1,3‐substituted adamantane or meta ‐substituted phenylene ring linkers leads to the preferred formation of stable pentameric ( 1 ) 5 and hexameric ( 2 ) 6 assemblies, respectively. Despite the high binding constant of the 2‐ureido‐4‐pyrimidinone dimers and the highly preorganized structure of the monomer, the predominant formation of cycles ( 1 ) 5 and ( 2 ) 6 in solution occurs only within a specific concentration range.
