Ideally oriented to complex a metal ion , the three carbonyl groups of triolide 1 are parallel and pointing in the same direction. Upon complexation with a sodium ion, the ring adjusts by arching inward, tilting the CO groups towards each other. The preparation of triolide 1 from poly( R )‐3‐hydroxybutanoate is surprisingly simple.
