## Abstract We report a new method for the synthesis of block copolymers with a pentasilane core by the polymerization of alkyl methacrylate monomers using the pentasilyl dianion as an initiator. The polymerization proceeded with living features and yielded the corresponding block copolymers with c

Abstract
Amphipatic block copolymers (OβEb) with a hydrophilic saccharide block and a hydrophobic polypeptide block were synthesized. In these copolymers the saccharide block is the glyco‐amino acid Oβ from ovomucoid and the peptide block (Eb) is a poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) block. Copolymers OβEb exhibit, in the solid state and in Me~2~SO concentrated solutions, mesomorphic lamellar structures where the polypeptide chains are in an α‐helical conformation. Depending on the molecular weight of the polypeptide block, three types of lamellar structures are obtained, and they differ by the mode of organization of the polypeptide chains in their lamellae and by the T or Y conformation of the saccharide block.
