The formation and characterization of K+ and Cs+ complexes originating from the cooperativity of three non‐covalent interactions is explored. The tridimensional preorganization of the naphthothiophene platform displays a favorable well‐defined bay region combining a π fragment and a carbonyl moiety flanking a central sulfur atom. A joint theoretical and experimental infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) study allowed deciphering the key contribution of the orthogonal phenyl fragment to the elaboration of alkali metal complexes. In combination with S and CO interactions, the π–cation interaction significantly enhances the binding energies of naphthothiophene derivatives.
