The synthesis of a doubly‐annulated m ‐terphenyl‐based tweezer platform has been developed, which affords ready incorporation of various pincer units from monobenzenoid to polybenzenoid electron donors. The complexation study with 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DDQ) as guest has been carried out, and the crystal structure of T‐Py∩DDQ reveals the sandwich‐type binding mode in the solid state.
