Several new symmetrical and nonsymmetrical bipyridine‐containing building blocks for shape‐persistent macrocycles were developed, whereby much emphasis was placed on especially efficient procedures. The building blocks were used for the synthesis of several new cycles, the most important of which carry only one selectively addressable hydroxymethyl group at a corner. This group was converted into methacrylate‐ and norbornene‐type polymerizable units for free radical and ROMP polymerizations, respectively, rendering the corresponding macrocycles the first macromonomers of this kind. Initial polymerization studies are also reported. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
