Squaramide is a highly rigid four‐membered ring system bearing two carbonyl and two amino groups, and its derivatives have found applications in many fields. We synthesized severalN,N’‐dimethylated oligosquaramides linked via phenyl groups, and investigated their structures in the crystalline state and in solution. Compounds1,2(bissquaramides), and13(trissquaramide) exist as folded structures in the crystalline state, in which the aromatic rings are located in a face‐to‐face position. In their multilayered structures, the benzene rings are more nearly parallel and are closer to each other, compared with those inN,N’‐dimethylated oligoureas. Individual molecules ofmeta‐connected compounds2and13show a helical structure with all‐Ror all‐Saxis chirality, but afford only racemic crystals. The NMR spectra indicated that these compounds retain well‐ordered folded structures in solution. The unique steric and electronic properties ofN,N’‐dimethylated squaramide can provide access to novel functional aromatic multilayered and helical foldamers.
