Abstract

AbstractHere, we report a new class of peptidomimetic macrocycles with well‐defined three‐dimensional structures and low conformational flexibility. They are assembled from fused‐ring spiro‐ladder oligomers (spiroligomers) by modular solid‐phase synthesis. Two‐dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance confirms their shape persistency. Triangular macrocycles of tunable sizes assemble into membranes with atomically precise pores, which exhibit size and shape‐dependent molecular sieving towards a series of structurally similar compounds. The exceptional structural diversity and stability of spiroligomer‐based macrocycles will be explored for more applications.
