A solution to the vexing problem of investigating solvent‐mediated electron transfer under conditions of frozen solvent motion may be at hand with the synthesis of novel U‐shaped systems such as 1 (R=CO 2 Me) and 2 (R=CH 2 OMe), in which the imide‐functionalized cleft provides the point of attachment of the “solvent” molecule, either covalently or by hydrogen bonding.
