Two conformers of D ‐fructopyranose are characterized using laser ablation and broadband Fourier‐transform microwave spectroscopy. Both species are stabilized by complicated intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding networks. Structural motifs related to the sweetness of D ‐fructopyranose are revealed for the most stable conformer.
