The synthesis and physicochemical characterisation of a series of polymethylene‐1,ω‐bis(phosphocholines) with even‐numbered chain lengths between 22 and 32 carbon atoms is described. Two new synthetic strategies for the preparation of long‐chain 1,ω‐diols as hydrocarbon building blocks are presented. The temperature‐dependent self‐assembly of the single‐chain bolaamphiphiles was investigated by cryo transmission electron microscopy (cryo‐TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
