In this report, our work describing the use of spin probes in the field of supramolecular chemistry and how electron spin resonance (EPR) has been used for detecting and identifying supramolecular assemblies is shortly reviewed. Selected examples are reported, including paramagnetic host–guest complexes, self‐assembled systems doped with spin probes, spin‐labelled macrocycles and open shell mechanically interlocked structures (MIMs) such as rotaxanes, in which the dumbbell, the wheel or both are tagged with nitroxide radicals.
