Ringing a peptide (not‐so‐dumb)bell: the amide groups in the glycylglycine derivative shown below provide the information required to template the formation of benzylic amide macrocycles to yield peptide [2]rotaxanes. The four key hydrogen bonds responsible for cyclization remain intact in the rotaxane in nonpolar solvents, in the solid state, and (when X = N) even in polar solvents such as [D 6 ]DMSO and [D 6 ]DMSO/D 2 O mixtures. X = CH, N; shaded sphere = Ph 2 CH, black sphere = Ph 2 CHCH 2 .
