Summary: We developed a new method for synthesizing an organic‐soluble permethylated cyclodextrin‐based insulated molecular wire (IMW); this method involves the polymerization of a symmetrical linked inclusion complex as a monomer. This monomer was synthesized by dimerization of linked inclusion complexes at the terminal alkynyl groups by Glaser coupling. The polyrotaxane thus obtained is highly soluble in a variety of organic solvents and has a high covering ratio, regioregularity, and photoluminescence efficiency.
