A phenylacetylene carrying a chiral L ‐alanine dipeptide moiety has been synthesized, and it has been polymerized by (2,5‐norbornadiene)rhodium(I) chloride dimmer {[Rh(nbd)Cl] 2 } into a high‐molecular‐weight polymer in a high yield. The polymer chain takes a helical conformation with preferred handedness, which can be tuned by the solvent and temperature.
