Summary: The crystal structure of rigid, hollow, racemic binaphthyl poly(ether ketone) macrocycles has been elucidated by single crystal X‐ray analysis. Multitudinal interactions were identified within the chiral space group P212121. The structural analysis revealed that this macrocyclic compound contains an elliptic chiral cavity with a size of 9.80 × 5.18 Å, which is similar to that of cyclodextrins. The knowledge about the interaction sites and the structure of the binaphthyl‐based macrocycle provides a unique opportunity to understand its molecular or chiral recognition properties.
