Living supramolecular polymerization (LSP) is a promising strategy to construct well-defined supramolecular nanostructures but precise control over polymerization remains challenging. Here, a cation−π-dominated pathway regulation strategy is proposed enabling the effective regulation of the kinetic and thermodynamic energy landscapes in LSP by dynamically switching various aromatic cation−π bonding modes.
