“Move‐connect‐prove” is the sequence that is employed to join and shape two individual strands of dendronized polymers. A scanning force microscope is used to move and shape the strands (picture a→b); the connection is obtained by UV irradiation of the sample, and tested by pulling on the connected polymer chains.
