Summary:A new concept for constructing supramolecular architectures is discussed. In addition to van der Waals and hydrogen‐bonding intermolecular interactions that primarily account for supramolecular structures for all materials lacking extended 3D network structures, directional, long, multicenter bonding that can occur for anionic, cationic, neutral, and zwitterionic radicals and can direct intermolecular recognition through π interactions and form extended network supramolecular structural motifs. The long and the short of it: Supramolecular structures can form from directional, long, multicenter bonding interactions based upon the intermolecular recognition and π‐dimerization of radicals (see scheme).
