Nature Communications, Published online: 08 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72700-5 Non-covalently connecting supramolecular assemblies of structurally distinct π-systems which yield higher-order heterostructures are challenging due to phase segregation into individual components. Here, the authors demonstrate a rational approach to construct fully supramolecular bicomponent higher-order super-heterostructures using structurally distinct π-systems.
