A series of coordination‐driven, heteroleptic self‐assembled, bowtie‐shaped bis‐macrocycles were designed and constructed by combining tetrakis(terpyridinyl)thianthrene and bis‐terpyridine, 60°‐directed, Ru 2+ dimers. The resulting complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI‐MS coupled with travelling wave ion mobility spectrometry (ESI‐TWIM‐MS) experiments. The desired bis‐macrocycles were obtained in quantitative yields through the use of long alkyl‐chain substituents, in contrast to the lower yields obtained for smaller alkyl moieties.
