The role of CH⋅⋅⋅π and CH⋅⋅⋅O interactions in HF 2 − ‐assisted self‐assembly of nitrogen‐containing bisphenols are investigated. Unusual control on the end–face and edge–face geometries of aromatic CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions by a water molecule in the 4‐[(4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethylphenyl)methyl]pyridinium difluoride lattice is observed. The bi s (4‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethylphenyl)(4‐ammoniophenyl)methane⋅HF 2 − self‐assembles through the formation of hydrogen‐bonded cyclic hexamers.
