Under various conditions, water molecules dramatically affect a number of solid‐state C ‐alkylpyrogallol[4]arene assemblies. In the absence of water, hydrogen‐bonded hexameric capsules are formed for the C ‐butyl, pentyl, hexyl, and heptyl pyrogallol[4]arenes. Introduction of water to acetonitrile solutions containing C ‐propyl– C ‐octylpyrogallol[4]arenes resulted in the formation of markedly different bilayer structures and the structural identification of two new dimer‐type motifs.
