Herein two kinds of pillar[5]arene derivatives, DMpillar[4]arene[1]quinone and DPpillar[4]arene[1]quinone were synthesized. Their host−guest complexation properties were explored and we found that neutral dinitriles can thread through the cavity of pillar[4]arene[1]quinones to form [2]pseudorotaxanes in chloroform, which were confirmed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Of all the guests, the succinonitrile showed the most effective binding affinity with the host molecules in this work. Strikingly, X‐ray single‐crystal analysis between DMpillar[4]arene[1]quinone and 1,4‐dicyanobutane indicates the formation of the threaded structure.
