Staying in shape: The second and third generations of a new dendron system switch from left‐handed to right‐handed helical conformations upon a change in solvent from THF to water (picture; left). This inversion occurs in tandem with conformational shifts about the OCCO bonds of a subset of terminating glycol chains, from gauche , gauche + , anti to anti , gauche − , anti (picture; right).
