Here a new, systematic, unambiguous and unified nomenclature for multicomponent materials is presented. The approach simplifies naming schemes of extraordinary co‐crystals containing multiple building blocks with different charges. Although the presented examples of cytosine compounds cannot cover all possibilities, they clearly show that the new nomenclature is flexible and can be easily extended to other multicomponent materials.
