A host–guest supramolecular polymer was constructed from cucurbit[6]uril host molecules (orange) and porphyrin guest molecules (red and blue) and its formation depends on host‐enhanced hydrogen‐bonding interactions in combination with ion‐dipole interactions. The polymer is the first structurally characterized cucurbit[ n ]uril–porphyrin supramolecular polymer.
