Structural designs combining oligoparaphenylene‐derived nanohoops with other functional organic building blocks should lead to novel molecular architectures with intriguing properties. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a pentiptycene‐derived chiral dual nanohoop molecule with key steps including...
