Seven libraries with up to three generations of amphiphilic dendrons based on AB, constitutional isomeric AB 2 , and AB 3 biphenyl‐4‐methyl ether building blocks were synthesized by Percec et al., as described on page 6216ff., and analyzed by using the retrostructural analysis method shown. These dendrons self‐assemble into hollow and non‐hollow supramolecular dendrimers up to twice as large as those for the architecturally related benzyl ether. These results expand the structural diversity of non‐hollow and hollow supramolecular dendrimers and demonstrate the generality of self‐assembling dendrons based on amphiphilic arylmethyl ethers.
