International audience. We report here an oligourea foldamer able to self-assemble in aqueous conditions into helix bundles of multiple stoichiometries. Importantly, we report crystal structures of several of these stoichiometries, providing a series of high-resolutions snap-shots of the structural polymorphism of this foldamer and uncovering a novel self-assembly.
