The importance of the collaboration of experiment and theory has been proven in many examples in science and technology. Here, such a new example is shown in the investigation of molecular self‐assembly process, which is a complicated multi‐step chemical reaction occurring in the reaction network composed of a huge number of intermediates. An experimental method, QASAP (quantitative analysis of self‐assembly process), developed by us and a numerical approach, NASAP (numerical analysis of self‐assembly process), that analyzes the experimental data obtained by QASAP to draw detail molecular self‐assembly pathways, which was also developed by us, are introduced, and their application to the investigation of Pd(II)‐mediated coordination assemblies are presented. Further, the possibility of the prediction of the outcomes of molecular self‐assembly by varying the reaction conditions is also demonstrated. Finally, a future direction in the field of artificial molecular self‐assembly based on pathway‐dependent self‐assembly, that is, kinetic control of molecular self‐assembly is discussed.
