Molecular cavities formed by π‐conjugated component(s) generally, tend to collapse in the absence of guest molecule(s) especially in the solution‐state, because of strong π•••π interactions between molecular components. Recently, we have explored the importance of mutual induced‐fit effect to sort out this issue. In the present report, we have shown the role of substituents on the effectiveness of mutual induced‐fit process in an artificial system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
