A bis(1,2,3‐phenylene) cryptand has been synthesized and used to prepare 1:1 complexes with paraquat and diquat, with association constants of 2.2 × 10 3 M –1 and 3.7 × 10 3 M –1 , respectively, in CHCl 3 /CH 3 CN (1:1). In the solid state this cryptand forms a taco complex with paraquat, which has never been found before in cryptand/paraquat complexes. Furthermore, its binding to paraquat and diquat in solution can be switched off (and back on) by addition of acid or K + (and then base or 18‐crown‐6).
