To form couples to get into the dance, helices have to have the same handedness. In their Communication on page 6848 ff., I. Huc and co‐workers show that at the molecular scale, right‐handed foldamer helices with two right hands (in blue) and left‐handed helices with two left hands (in red) cannot join hands to form dimeric macrocycles. The outcome is a remote communication of handedness between helices bound in the same macrocycle. Graphic credit: Dr. V. Maurizot.
