Popis: A supramolecular approach for photonic materials based on hydrogen‐bonded cholesteric liquid crystals is presented. The modular toolbox of low‐molecular‐weight hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors provides a simple route toward liquid crystalline materials with tailor‐made thermal and photonic properties. Initial studies reveal broad application potential of the liquid crystalline thin films for chemo‐ and thermosensing. The chemosensing performance is based on the interruption of the intermolecular forces between the donor and acceptor moieties by interference with halogen‐bond donors. Future studies will expand the scope of analytes and sensing in aqueous media. In addition, the implementation of the reported materials in additive manufacturing and printed photonic devices is planned.
