Self-assembling building blocks like the 4-pyridone can exhibit extraordinary H-bond-aromaticity coupling effects. Computed dissected nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS(1)zz), natural bond orbital (NBO) charges, and energy decomposition analyses (EDA) for a series of hydrogen (H-) bonded 4-pyridone chains (4-py)n (n = 2 to 8) reveal that H-bonding interactions can polarize the 4-pyridone exocyclic C=O bonds and increase 4n+2 π-electron delocalization in the six-membered ring. The resulting H-bonded 4-pyridone units display enhanced π-aromatic character (both magnetically and energetically) and their corresponding N-H···O=C interactions are strengthened. These π-electron polarization effects do not depend on the relative orientations (co-planar or perpendicular) of the neighboring 4-pyridone units, but increase with the number of H-bonded units
