Summary:Living large: Rational design of self‐assembly pathways has been demonstrated in supramolecular polymers. By controlling the concentration of an aggregation‐competent monomer through intramolecular interactions, living supramolecular polymerization conditions were achieved. This universal approach can be used to obtain aggregates of well‐defined length and narrow dispersity, and allows access to new supramolecular polymer architectures.
