description π‐Extended systems are key components for the development of future organic electronic technologies. While conceiving molecules with improved properties is fundamental for the evolution of materials science, keeping control over the 3D arrangement of molecules represents an ever‐expanding challenge. Herein, a synthetic protocol to replace carbon atoms of π‐systems by dissymmetric phosphorus atoms is reported; in particular, it allowed for conceiving new fused phosphapyrene derivatives with improved properties. The presence of dissymmetric phosphorus atoms precluded the formation of excimers. X‐ray diffraction revealed that, meanwhile, strong intermolecular interactions are taking place in the solid state. The phosphapyrenes photoluminesce in the visible region with high quantum yields; importantly, they are CD‐active. In addition, the unique non‐planar features of phosphorus atoms allowed for the control of the 3D arrangement of molecules, rendering lemniscate‐like structures. Based on our discoveries, we envisage the possibility to construct higher‐order, chiral 3D architectures from larger phosphorus‐containing π‐systems.
