π‐Stacking is central to a variety of pursuits in chemistry and its modulation mechanism is complicated. In this manuscript, a strategy that bridges the research of dynamic covalent chemistry and weak interactions, as a means of developing simple, general, and versatile systems for the regulation of π‐stacking, is demonstrated. The dynamic covalent assembly allows easy access to structural diversity by varying amine components and facile quantification of substituent effects of π‐stacking with in situ competing π‐stacking systems in the form of amine exchange. The π‐stacking of chiral amines within the adduct enables chirality induction from homotopic faces. For more information see the Communication by L. You et al. on page 3804 ff.
