The self‐assembly of a Pd 2 L 4 capsule consisting of Pd(II) ions and ditopic ligands comprising an anthracene panel takes place mainly through three pathways, as determined by QASAP (quantitative analysis of self‐assembly process). This differs substantially from the self‐assembly process of a geometrically similar Pd 2 L 4 cage without anthracene panels, indicating that the interactions between the neighboring panels have a significant influence on the self‐assembly process. More information can be found in the Communication by S. Hiraoka et al. on page 3965.
