A Template‐Assembled Synthetic U‐Quadruplex

Fo(u)r U: A lipophilic cavitand with four dinucleoside (uridine) residues has been synthesized and characterized. NMR spectroscopy evidence suggests the self-assembly of a U-quadruplex by the uracil nucleobases in organic solution under ambient conditions.
