A 1:1 mixture of pseudoenantiomer ethynylhelicene (P)‐pentamer and (M)‐tetramer in toluene formed hetero‐double‐helix and their self‐assembled gels. Kinetic analysis under isothermal conditions showed a complex nonlinear nature with regard to temperature changes. At 60°C, sigmoidal kinetics were observed, which disappeared after seeding with the self‐assembled gels. These findings indicate the involvement of self‐catalytic reaction I, in which a hetero‐double‐helix catalyzes the reaction to form a hetero‐double‐helix from random‐coils. At 20°C, stairwise biphasic kinetics were observed, which disappeared after seeding. This phenomenon was explained by the involvement of two reactions with sigmoidal kinetics, namely, the formation of self‐assembled gel I from hetero‐double‐helix by self‐catalytic reaction II and the formation of self‐assembled gel II by self‐catalytic reaction III. Constant‐rate temperature change experiments between 90 and 5°C showed nonsigmoidal thermal hysteresis in accordance with the involvement of sequential self‐catalytic reactions with different reaction rates.
