The systematic building of large macromolecular arrangements based on non ‐carbon elements is a significant challenge. Our aim in the past two decades has been to develop robust synthetic methods to construct new types of main group architectures in a methodical way. This Concept article addresses the fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic problems involved in the design of main group macrocycles and looks to future developments of macromolecules in this area, see D. S. Wright et al. on page 3073 ff.
