## Abstract The eight‐shaped poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is synthesized by a combination of Glaser coupling with ring‐opening polymerization (ROP). Firstly, the star‐shaped **(PEO‐OH)**~**4**~ is synthesized by ROP of ethylene oxide (EO) using pentaerythritol as an initiator and diphenylmethyl potas
