Resorcinarene‐based deep‐cavity cavitands (DCCs) are useful components in supramolecular chemistry because their extended cavity enables the encapsulation of relatively large guests. To provide H 2 O solubility, they have been modified with hydroxyl functionalized dendrons. This has been carried out by the divergent dendronization of aliphatic poly(ester) dendrons through the third dendritic generation. The resultant macromolecule demonstrated the desired H 2 O solubility.
