Inspired by protein polymerizations, much progress has been made in making “polymer‐like” supramolecular structures from small synthetic subunits through non‐covalent bonds. A few regulation mechanisms have also been explored in synthetic platforms to create supramolecular polymers and materials with dynamic properties. Herein, a type of reactive regulator that facilitates the dimerization of the monomer precursors through dynamic bonds to trigger the supramolecular assembly from small molecules in an aqueous solution is described. The supramolecular structures are crystalline in nature and the reaction coupled assembly strategy can be extended to a supramolecular assembly of aromatic amide derivatives formed in‐situ. The method may be instructive for the development of supramolecular nanocrystalline materials with desired physical properties.
