AbstractIn the first part, this brief review discusses the discovery of the first example of supramolecular dendritic liquid quasicrystal, which represents also the first example of soft quasicrystal. In the second part, we show that soft quasicrystals generated from supramolecular spheres are scattered through libraries of self‐assembling dendrons, dendrimers, and dendronized polymers. The supramolecular spheres forming soft quasicrystals are generated via at least two different mechanisms, and are chiral. Generation of quasicrystals from other organic building blocks is also discussed. Finally, potential applications in electronics, sensors, and as ionic liquid‐based nanoreactors are also mentioned.
