Digold metallotweezers whose complex supramolecular landscape is controlled by adding a series of metal cations are described. The metallotweezers have a strong tendency to form interesting supramolecular structures on addition of Tl+, Ag+, and Cu+. The choice of the cation can be used to direct the formation of a designated molecular architecture. The addition of thallium facilitates the formation of a self‐aggregated duplex structure in which the cation occupies the cavity of the dimer. The same type of structure is formed when Cu+ is added, and the resulting duplex inclusion complex shows interesting vapochromic properties. This copper‐encapsulating system evolves in solution to a 1D helical supramolecular polymer showing multiple aurophilic and Au⋅⋅⋅Cu interactions, in which the copper cation is bound to several alkynyl ligands of the tweezer. The addition of a small amount of silver cations to the digold tweezer yields a similar type of inclusion dimer complex, but adding an excess of the cation produces new discrete molecules presumably exhibiting multiple Au⋅⋅⋅Au, Au⋅⋅⋅Ag, and Ag⋅⋅⋅Ag metallophilic interactions. The differences in the supramolecular structures formed are ascribed to the different tendencies of the metal cations to exhibit interactions with the gold atoms and to coordinate to the alkynyl ligands of the tweezer.
