Abstract

Chemists are beginning to explore the abiotic folding of synthetic chains, and the term “foldamers” has been used to characterize oligomers with a strong inclination to adopt specific, compact conformations. The characterization of folded structure in solution is one of the difficult challenges facing the foldamer field. Aedamers were the first foldamers to make use of aromatic-aromatic interactions in water to direct folding and were designed to have ...
