Aromatic stacking and hydrophobic interactions are the driving forces for the reversible self‐assembly of an amphiphilic perylene derivative in water to form a linear polymer (see schematic representation). The structure of the assemblies has been elucidated by small‐angle neutron scattering, and the association strength determined by NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies.
