Abstract
The emergent properties resulting from selective supramolecular interactions are of significant importance for materials and chemical systems. For the directed use of such properties, a fundamental understanding of the interaction mechanism and the resulting mode of function is necessary for a tailored design. The self-induced diastereomeric anisochronism effect (SIDA), which occurs in the intermolecular interaction of chiral molecules, generates unique properties such as chiral self-recognition and nonlinear effects. Here we show that anisidine amino acid diamides lead to extraordinary signal splitting in NMR spectra through supramolecular interaction and homochiral self-recognition. By systematic experiments we have investigated the underlying SIDA effect, explored its limits and finally successfully utilized it in the determination of enantiomeric ratios by NMR spectroscopy of chiral 'SIDA-inactive' compounds such as thalidomide.

Abstract
The development of synthetic receptors capable of selectively binding guests with diverse structures and multiple functional groups poses a significant challenge. Here, we present the efficient assembly of foldamer-based receptors for monosaccharides, utilising the principles of complexation-induced equilibrium shifting and adaptive folding. Diimine 4 can be quantitatively assembled from smaller components when D-galactose is added as a guest among monosaccharides we examined. During this assembly, dual complexation-induced equilibrium shifts toward both the formation of diimine 4 and the conversion of D-galactose into α-D-galactofuranose are observed. Diimine 6 is quantitatively assembled in the presence of two different guests, methyl β-D-glucopyranoside and methyl β-D-galactopyranoside, resulting in the formation of two dimeric complexes: (6-MP)2⊃(methyl β-D-glucopyranoside)2 and (6-MM)2⊃(methyl β-D-galactopyranoside∙2H2O)2, respectively. These two complexes exhibit distinct folding structures with domain-swapping cavities depending on the bound guest and temperature. Interestingly, (6-MM)2⊃(methyl β-D-galactopyranoside∙2H2O)2 is exclusively formed at lower temperatures, while (6-MP)2⊃(methyl β-D-glucopyranoside)2 is only formed at higher temperatures.

Abstract
Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share many structural properties, such as helix induction or conformational communication mechanisms. The introduction of stimuli responsive building blocks or monomer repeating units in these materials triggers conformational or structural changes, due to the presence/absence of the external stimulus, which are transmitted to the helix resulting in different effects, such as assymetry amplification, helix inversion or even changes in the helical scaffold (elongation, J/H helical aggregates). In this review, we show through selected examples how different stimuli (e.g., temperature, solvents, cations, anions, redox, chiral additives, pH or light) can alter the helical structures of dynamic helical polymers (covalent and supramolecular) and foldamers acting on the conformational composition or molecular structure of their components, which is also transmitted to the macromolecular helical structure.

Abstract
We report Pd-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of (+)-α-bromoenone, obtained from monoterpene β-pinene, into an enantiopure cyclotrimer. This C3 symmetric compound has three bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane rings fused to its central benzene with each ring carrying a carbonyl group. The cyclotrimer undergoes diastereoselective threefold alkynylation with the lithium salts of five terminal alkynes (41-63 %, de=4-83 %). The addition enabled a rapid synthesis of a small library of novel chiral cavitands that, in shape, resemble a tripod stand. These molecular tripods include a tris-bicycloannelated benzene head attached to three alkyne legs twisted in one direction to form a nonpolar cavity with polar groups as feet. Tripods with methylpyridinium and methylisoquinolinium legs, respectively, form inclusion complexes with anti-inflammatory and chiral drugs (R)/(S)-ibuprofen and (R)/(S)-naproxen. The mode of binding shows drug molecules docked in the cavity of the host through ion-ion, cation-π, and C-H-π contacts that, in addition of desolvation, give rise to complexes having millimolar to micromolar stability in water. Our findings open the door to creating a myriad of enantiopure tripods with tunable functions that, in the future, might give novel chemosensors, catalysts or sequestering agents.

Abstract
Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes contain free-moving components that cannot dissociate and have enabled the investigation and control of various translational and rotational molecular motions. The architecture of pseudo-rotaxanes and of some kinetically labile rotaxanes is comparable to that of rotaxanes but their components are reversibly associated and not irreversibly interlocked. In other words, pseudo-rotaxanes may fall apart. This Account focuses on a peculiar family of rotaxane-like architectures termed foldaxanes.Foldaxanes consist of a helically folded oligomer wound around a rod-like dumbbell-shaped guest. Winding of the helix around the rod thus entails an unwinding-rewinding process that creates a kinetic barrier. It follows that foldaxanes, albeit reversibly assembled, have significant lifetimes and may not fall apart while defined molecular motions are triggered. Foldaxanes based on helically folded aromatic oligoamide hosts and oligo(alkyl carbamate) guests can be designed rationally through the inclusion of complementary binding motifs on the rod and at the inner rim of the helix so that helix length and rod length match. Single helical foldaxanes (bimolecular species) and double helical foldaxanes (trimolecular species) have thus been produced as well as poly[n]foldaxanes, in which several helices bind to long rods with multiple binding stations. When the binding stations differ and are organized in a certain sequence, a complementary sequence of different stacked helices, each matching with their binding station, can be assembled, thus reproducing in an artificial system a sort of translation process.Foldaxane helix handedness may be controlled by stereogenic centers on the rod-like guest. Handedness can also be transmitted from helix to helix in polyfoldaxanes. Foldaxane formation has drastic consequences for the rod properties, including its stiffening and the restriction of the mobility of a macrocycle already interlocked on the rod. Fast translation (without dissociation) of helices along rod-like guests has been demonstrated. Because of the helical nature of the hosts, translation may be accompanied by rotation in various sorts of screw-like motions. The possibility, on longer time scales, for the helix to dissociate from and reassociate to the rod has allowed for the design of complex, kinetically controlled supramolecular pathways of a helix on a rod. Furthermore, the design of helices with a directionality, that is, with two distinct termini, that bind to nonsymmetrical rod-like guests in a defined orientation makes it possible to also control the orientation of molecular motion. Altogether, foldaxanes constitute a distinct and full-of-potential family of rotaxane-like architectures that possess designer structures and allow orchestration of the time scales of various supramolecular events.

Abstract
Sensors are tools for detecting, recognizing, and recording signals from the surrounding environment. They provide measurable information on chemical or physical changes, and thus are widely used in diagnosis, environment monitoring, food quality checks, or process control. Polymers are versatile materials that find a broad range of applications in sensory devices for the biomedical sector and beyond. Sensory materials are expected to exhibit a measurable change of properties in the presence of an analyte or a stimulus, characterized by high sensitivity and selectivity of the signal. Signal parameters can be tuned by material features connected with the restriction of macromolecule shape by crosslinking or folding. Gels are crosslinked, three-dimensional networks that can form cavities of different sizes and forms, which can be adapted to trap particular analytes. A higher level of structural control can be achieved by foldamers, which are macromolecules that can attain well-defined conformation in solution. By increasing control over the three-dimensional structure, we can improve the selectivity of polymer materials, which is one of the crucial requirements for sensors. Here, we discuss various examples of polymer gels and foldamer-based sensor systems. We have classified and described applied polymer materials and used sensing techniques. Finally, we deliberated the necessity and potential of further exploration of the field towards the increased selectivity of sensory devices.

Abstract
We have synthesised a new aromatic foldamer based on the carbazole-pyridine oligomers that adopt helical conformations via dipole-dipole interactions and π-stacking between two ethynyl bond-linked monomers. This foldamer scaffold has been further modified into a synthetic receptor with a tweezer-type binding cavity outside the helical backbone upon folding, in contrast to most aromatic foldamers with internal binding cavities. The tweezer-type cavity is composed of two parallel pyrenyl planes, allowing for the intercalation of a naphthalenediimide guest via π-stacking and CH⋯O interactions, as demonstrated using its 1H NMR spectra and X-ray crystal structure.

Abstract
The precise positioning of functional groups about the inner space of abiotic hosts is a challenging task and of interest for developing more effective receptors and catalysts akin to those found in nature. To address it, we herein report a synthetic methodology for preparing basket-like cavitands comprised of three different aromatics as side arms with orthogonal esters at the rim for further functionalization. First, enantioenriched A (borochloronorbornene), B (iodobromonorbornene), and C (boronorbornene) building blocks were obtained by stereoselective syntheses. Second, consecutive A-to-B and then AB-to-C Suzuki-Miyaura (SM) couplings were optimized to give enantioenriched ABC cavitand as the principal product. The robust synthetic protocol allowed us to prepare (a) an enantioenriched basket with three benzene sides and each holding either tBu, Et, or Me esters, (b) both enantiomers of a so-called "spiral staircase" basket with benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene groups surrounding the inner space, and (c) a photo-responsive basket bearing one anthracene and two benzene arms.

Abstract
Aromatic helical receptors P-1 and P-2 were slightly modified by aerobic oxidation to afford new receptors P-7 and P-8 with right-handed helical cavities. This subtle modification induced significant changes in the binding properties for chiral guests. Specifically, P-1 was reported to bind d-tartaric acid (Ka =35500 M-1 ), used as a template, much strongly than l-tartaric acid (326 M-1 ). In contrast, its modified receptor P-7 exhibited significantly reduced affinities for d-tartaric acid (3600 M-1 ) and l-tartaric acid (125 M-1 ). More dramatic changes in the affinities and selectivities were observed for P-2 and P-8 upon binding of polyol guests. P-2 was determined to selectively bind d-sorbitol (52000 M-1 ) over analogous guests, but P-8 showed no binding selectivity: d-sorbitol (1890 M-1 ), l-sorbitol (3330 M-1 ), d-arabitol (959 M-1 ), l-arabitol (4970 M-1 ) and xylitol (4960 M-1 ) in 5% (v/v) DMSO/CH2 Cl2 at 25±1 °C. These results clearly demonstrate that even subtle post-modifications of synthetic receptors may significantly alter their binding affinities and selectivities, in particular for guests of long and flexible chains.

Abstract
Macrocyclic peptides are an important class of bioactive substances. When inserting an aromatic foldamer segment in a macrocyclic peptide, the strong folding propensity of the former may influence the conformation and alter the properties of the latter. Such an insertion is relevant because some foldamer-peptide hybrids have recently been shown to be tolerated by the ribosome, prior to forming macrocycles, and can thus be produced using an in vitro translation system. We have investigated the interplay of peptide and foldamer conformations in such hybrid macrocycles. We show that foldamer helical folding always prevails and stands as a viable means to stretch, i.e. unfold, peptides in a solvent dependent manner. Conversely, the peptide systematically has a reciprocal influence and gives rise to strong foldamer helix handedness bias as well as foldamer helix stabilisation. The hybrid macrocycles also show resistance towards proteolytic degradation.

Abstract
A novel chiral aromatic δ-amino acid building block was shown to fully induce handedness in quinoline oligoamide foldamers with the possibility of further increasing the bias by combining multiples of these units in the same sequence. Through its incorporation within the helix, both N- and C-termini are still accessible for further functionalisation.

Abstract
In the last decade, the field of sequence-defined polymers and related ultraprecise, monodisperse synthetic macromolecules has grown exponentially. In the early stage, mainly articles or reviews dedicated to the development of synthetic routes toward their preparation have been published. Nowadays, those synthetic methodologies, combined with the elucidation of the structure-property relationships, allow envisioning many promising applications. Consequently, in the past 3 years, application-oriented papers based on discrete synthetic macromolecules emerged. Hence, material science applications such as macromolecular data storage and encryption, self-assembly of discrete structures and foldamers have been the object of many fascinating studies. Moreover, in the area of life sciences, such structures have also been the focus of numerous research studies. Here, it is aimed to highlight these recent applications and to give the reader a critical overview of the future trends in this area of research.

Abstract
The selective binding properties of a 13-mer oligoamide foldamer capsule composed of 4 different aromatic subunits are reported. The capsule was designed to recognize dicarboxylic acids through multiple-point interactions owing to a combination of protonation/deprotonation events, H-bonding, and geometrical constraints imparted by the rigidity of the foldamer backbone. Compared to tartaric acid, binding of 2,2-difluorosuccinic acid or 2,2,3,3-tetrafluorosuccinic acid resulted in symmetry breaking due to deprotonation of only one of the two carboxylic acid groups of the encapsulated species as shown by NMR studies in solution and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. An analogous 14-mer foldamer capsule terminated with a thiol anchoring group was used to probe the complexation event in self-assembled monolayers on Au substrates. Ellipsometry and polarization-modulation infrared absorption-reflection spectroscopy studies were consistent with the formation of a single molecule layer of the foldamer capsule oriented vertically with respect to the surface. The latter underwent smooth complexation of 2,2-difluorosuccinic acid with deprotonation of one of the two carboxylic acid groups. A significant (80-fold) difference in the charge transport properties of the monolayer upon encapsulation of the dicarboxylic acid was evidenced from conducting-AFM measurements (S = 1.1 × 10-9 vs. 1.4 × 10-11 ohm-1 for the empty and complexed capsule, respectively). The modulation in conductivity was assigned to protonation of the aromatic foldamer backbone.

Abstract
Two indolocarbazole-naphthyridine foldamers 2 and 3 that fold into helical conformations were prepared. The 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) moiety was introduced at one end of the foldamer strands to develop foldamer-based catalysts for the site-selective acylation of polyols. These foldamers adopt helical conformations containing internal cavities capable of binding octyl β-d-glucopyranoside. The association constants were determined to be 1.9 (±0.1)×105 M-1 for 2 and 2.1 (±0.1)×105 M-1 for 3 in CH2 Cl2 at 25 °C. In the presence of DMAP, 2 or 3 as the catalysts, octyl β-d-glucopyranoside was subjected to acetylation under identical reaction conditions. The DMAP-catalysed reaction afforded the random distribution of the monoacetylates (6-OAc : 4-OAc : 3-OAc : 2-OAc=33 : 24 : 41 : 2). In contrast, foldamers 2 and 3 led to the predominant formation of 6-OAc. The relative distributions were estimated to be 6-OAc : 4-OAc : 3-OAc=88 : 4 : 6 : ∼0 with 2 and 6-OAc : 4-OAc : 3-OAc : 2-OAc=90 : 3 : 6 : 1 with 3.

Abstract
As metalloproteins exemplify, the chemical and physical properties of metal centers depend not only on their first but also on their second coordination sphere. Installing arrays of functional groups around the first coordination sphere of synthetic metal complexes is thus highly desirable, but it remains a challenging objective. Here we introduce a novel approach to produce tailored second coordination spheres. We used bioinspired artificial architectures based on aromatic oligoamide foldamers to construct a rigid, modular and well-defined environment around a metal complex. Specifically, aza-aromatic monomers having a tethered [2Fe-2S] cluster have been synthesized and incorporated in conical helical foldamer sequences. Exploiting the modularity and predictability of aromatic oligoamide structures allowed for the straightforward design of a conical architecture able to sequester the metal complex in a confined environment. Even though no direct metal complex-foldamer interactions were purposely designed in this first generation model, crystallography, NMR and IR spectroscopy concurred to show that the aromatic oligoamide backbone alters the structure and fluxional processes of the metal cluster.

Abstract
Tailoring the structures of nanomachines to achieve specific functions is one of the major challenges in chemistry. Disentangling the different movements of nanomachines is critical to characterize their functions. Here, the motions within one kind of molecular machine, a foldaxane, composed of a foldamer with a spring-like conformation on an axle have been examined at the molecular level. With the aid of molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced sampling methods, the free-energy landscape characterizing the shuttling of the foldaxane has been drawn. The calculated free-energy barrier, amounting to 20.7 kcal mol-1, is in good agreement with experiments. Further analysis reveals that the predominant contribution to the free-energy barrier stems from the disruption of the hydrogen bonds between the foldamer and the thread. In the absence of hydrogen bonding interactions between the terminals of the foldamer and the thread, shrinkage and swelling movements of the foldamer have been identified and investigated in detail. By deciphering the intricate mechanism of how the foldaxane shuttles, our understanding of motions within molecular machines is expected to be improved, which will, in turn, assist the construction of molecular machines with specific functions.

Abstract
The recognition of either homomeric or heteromeric pairs of pentoses in an aromatic oligoamide double helical foldamer capsule was evidenced by circular dichroism (CD), NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The cavity of the host was predicted to be large enough to accommodate simultaneously two xylose molecules and to form a 1:2 complex (one container, two saccharides). Solution and solid-state data revealed the selective recognition of the α-4 C1 -d-xylopyranose tautomer, which is bound at two identical sites in the foldamer cavity. A step further was achieved by sequestering a heteromeric pair of pentoses, that is, one molecule of α-4 C1 -d-xylopyranose and one molecule of β-1 C4 -d-arabinopyranose despite the symmetrical nature of the host and despite the similarity of the guests. Subtle induced-fit and allosteric effects are responsible for the outstanding selectivities observed.

Abstract
Anfinsen's dogma that sequence dictates structure is fundamental to understanding the activity and assembly of proteins. This idea has been applied to all manner of oligomers but not to the behavior of cyclic oligomers, aka macrocycles. We do this here by providing the first proofs that sequence controls the hierarchical assembly of nonbiological macrocycles, in this case, at graphite surfaces. To design macrocycles with one (AAA), two (AAB), or three (ABC) different carbazole units, we needed to subvert the synthetic preferences for one-pot macrocyclizations. We developed a new stepwise synthesis with sequence-defined targets made in 11, 17, and 22 steps with 25, 10, and 5% yields, respectively. The linear build up of primary sequence (1°) also enabled a thermal Huisgen cycloaddition to proceed regioselectively for the first time using geometric control. The resulting macrocycles are planar (2° structure) and form H-bonded dimers (3°) at surfaces. Primary sequences encoded into the suite of tricarb macrocycles were shown by scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) to impact the next levels of supramolecular ordering (4°) and 2D crystalline polymorphs (5°) at solution-graphite interfaces. STM imaging of an AAB macrocycle revealed the formation of a new gap phase that was inaccessible using only C3-symmetric macrocycles. STM imaging of two additional sequence-controlled macrocycles (AAD, ABE) allowed us to identify the factors driving the formation of this new polymorph. This demonstration of how sequence controls the hierarchical patterning of macrocycles raises the importance of stepwise syntheses relative to one-pot macrocyclizations to offer new approaches for greater understanding and control of hierarchical assembly.

Abstract
Quinoline oligoamide foldamers appended with non-chiral fluorophores and derivatized with a camphanyl chiral inducer display strong chiroptical properties at tunable wavelengths as proved by CD and CPL spectroscopies. Induced CPL activity with high luminescence dissymmetry factors was observed in the visible range at wavelengths specific to the fluorophores.

Abstract
Host-guest chemistry is a functional model in supramolecular chemistry for understanding specific process occurring in biological systems. Herein, we describe a rationally designed giant multiarmed hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based supramolecular frameworks which encapsulate a variety of guest molecules in the voids of their crystal lattice through the cooperative interplay of multivalency, noncovalent forces and backbone rigidity. In this connection, pseudo-axially substituted twelve-armed hexaphenylbenzene was synthesized and its molecular entrapping nature was studied by varying number of H-bond donor-acceptor sites in the arms. The per-methyl esterified HPB acted as a cavitand to include nonpolar and polar aprotic guests in its crystal structure via C-H⋅⋅⋅π, C-H⋅⋅⋅O and C-H⋅⋅⋅N interactions. The corresponding amidated HPB showed unprecedented inclusion of ammonia and segregation of the guest molecules according to their polarity in the lattice. Furthermore, this molecular entrapping system has been used to obtain the crystal structure of a hitherto unproven 2-azaallenium intermediate, which had been proposed to be involved in aminomethylation of activated arenes.

Abstract
The prospect of recreating the complex structural hierarchy of protein folding in synthetic oligomers with backbones that are artificial in covalent structure ("foldamers") has long fascinated chemists. Foldamers offer complex functions from biostable scaffolds and have found widespread applications in fields from biomedical to materials science. Most precedent has focused on isolated secondary structures or their assemblies. In considering the goal of complex protein-like tertiary folding patterns, a key barrier became apparent. How does one design a backbone with covalent connectivity and a sequence of side-chain functional groups that will support defined intramolecular packing of multiple artificial secondary structures? Two developments were key to overcoming this challenge. First was the recognition of the power of blending α-amino acid residues with monomers differing in backbone connectivity to create "heterogeneous-backbone" foldamers. Second was the finding that replacing some of the natural α-residues in a biological sequence with artificial-backbone variants can result in a mimic that retains both the fold and function of the native sequence and, in some cases, gains advantageous characteristics. Taken together, these precedents lead to a view of a protein as chemical entity having two orthogonal sequences: a sequence of side-chain functional groups and a separate sequence of backbone units displaying those functional groups. In this Account, we describe our lab's work over the last ∼10 years to leverage the above concept of protein sequence duality in order to develop design principles for constructing heterogeneous-backbone foldamers that adopt complex protein-like tertiary folds. Fundamental to the approach is the utilization of a variety of artificial building blocks (e.g., d-α-residues, Cα-Me-α-residues, N-Me-α-residues, β-residues, γ-residues, δ-residues, polymer segments) in concert, replacing a fraction of α-residues in a given prototype sequence. We provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in terms of design principles for choosing substitutions based on consideration of local secondary structure and retention of key side-chain functional groups. We survey high-resolution structures of backbone-modified proteins to illustrate how diverse artificial moieties are accommodated in tertiary fold contexts. We detail efforts to elucidate how backbone alteration impacts folding thermodynamics and describe how such data informs the development of improved design rules. Collectively, a growing body of results by our lab and others spanning multiple protein systems suggests there is a great deal of plasticity with respect to the backbone chemical structures upon which sequence-encoded tertiary folds can manifest. Moreover, these efforts suggest sequence-guided backbone alteration as a broadly applicable strategy for generating foldamers with complex tertiary folding patterns. We conclude by offering some perspective regarding the near future of this field, in terms of unanswered questions, technological needs, and opportunities for new areas of inquiry.

Abstract
The ab initio rational structure-based design of a synthetic molecular receptor for a given complex biomolecular guest remains an elusive objective, yet remarkable progress has been achieved in recent years. This Account deals with the use of folded artificial aromatic amide oligomers, also termed aromatic foldamers, inspired from biopolymer structures, for the design of helical molecular capsules that can recognize guest molecules, completely surround them, and isolate them from the solvent, thus giving rise to a sort of guest encapsulation associated with slow binding and release kinetics. The development of new amino acid, diacid, and diamine monomers, a main source of creativity in this field, progress in their assembly into ever longer oligoamide sequences, and the predictability of the folded structures due to their inherent rigidity and simple folding principles, allowed for the design and preparation of unimolecular and bimolecular capsule shapes. These capsules consist of molecular helices having a large diameter in the middle and a narrow diameter at both ends thus creating a cavity suitable for binding a guest molecule. The understanding of molecular recognition properties within these bioinspired containers has greatly progressed. Recognition of simple guests such as diols or amino-alcohols may thus be predicted, and hosts can be proposed for guests as complex as saccharides using first principle design. Taking advantage of the modular nature of oligomeric sequences, of their synthetic accessibility and of their propensity to grow into crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis, a structure-based iterative design methodology has been developed that eventually yielded exquisite guest selectivity, affinity, and diastereoselectivity. This methodology involves rational negative design steps during which changes in the foldamer capsule sequence are not intended to improve binding to the targeted guest but instead to exclude the binding of other guests while preserving key interactions with the target. Metal ions can also be introduced at the inner rim of foldamer capsules and eventually assist the binding of an organic guest. These results demonstrate the viability of an ab initio approach to abiotic receptor design based on aromatic foldamers. The dynamic of the capsules associated with their self-organized nature provides opportunities to not only tune guest binding and selectivity, but also guest capture and release kinetics as well as cavity size and shape. Controlled release thus emerges as a realistic objective. Recent progress thus opens up multiple perspectives for the development of tailored hosts, sensors, and carriers structurally and conceptually different from earlier generations of macrocyclic-based receptors or from supramolecular containers produced by self-assembly.

Abstract
One of the major goals of modern supramolecular chemistry, with important practical relevance in many technical fields, is the development of synthetic host/guest partners with ultrahigh affinity and selectivity in water. Currently, most association pairs exhibit micromolar affinity or weaker, and there are very few host/guest systems with Ka > 109 M-1, apparently due to a barrier imposed by enthalpy/entropy compensation. This present study investigated the threading of a water-soluble tetralactam cyclophane by a deep-red fluorescent squaraine guest with flanking polyethylene glycol chains, an association process that is dominated by a highly favorable enthalpic driving force. A squaraine structure was rationally designed to permit guest back-folding as a strategy to greatly expand the hydrophobic surface area that could be buried upon complexation. Guided by computational modeling, an increasing number of N-benzyl groups were appended to the squaraine core, so that, after threading, the aromatic rings could fold back and stack against the cyclophane periphery. The final design iteration exhibited an impressive combination of fluorescence and supramolecular properties, including ratiometric change in deep-red emission, picomolar affinity ( Ka = 5.1 × 1010 M-1), and very rapid threading ( kon = 7.9 × 107 M-1 s-1) in water at 25 °C. Similar excellent behavior was observed in serum solution. A tangible outcome of this study is a new cyclophane/squaraine association pair that will be a versatile platform for many different types of fluorescence-based imaging and diagnostics applications. From a broader perspective, guest back-folding of aromatic groups is a promising new supramolecular stabilization strategy to overcome enthalpy/entropy compensation and produce ultrahigh affinity [2]pseudorotaxane complexes in water and biological media.

Abstract
A series of aromatic oligoamide foldamers with two or three pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide units as their main folding motifs and varying aromatic building blocks as linkers have been synthetized to study the effects of the structural variation on the folding properties and conformational stability. Crystallographic studies showed that in the solid state the central linker unit either elongates the helices and more open S-shaped conformations, compresses the helices to more compact conformations, or acts as a rigid spacer separating the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide units, which for their part add the predictability of the conformational properties. Multidimensional NMR studies showed that, even in solution, foldamers show conformational stability and folded conformations comparable to the solid-state structures.

Abstract
Foldamer, inspired by the structures and functions of biopolymers, is defined as an artificial molecular architecture that can fold into a three-dimensional structure in solution and has been a growing and active field in supramolecular chemistry. The central issue in foldamer science is to understand how the primary sequence of oligomer folds into conformationally ordered structures as well as how individual subunits self-associate into assembly. For duplex structures, these two issues are always interrelated and inseparable with each other. Although the emergence of new foldamer keeps growing, the detailed mechanism remains elusive. On the basis of an artificially synthesized arylamide oligoamide foldamer with its crystal structure available, we constructed a set of four foldamers with a similar backbone but different substituents and aimed at dissecting the folding and self-association mechanisms of a double-helical foldamer with computations. Using molecular simulations at a microsecond time scale, we observed very consistent processes of the spontaneous self-assembly of two single-helical motifs into an entwined complex. Our results reveal that aggregation of two single-helical motifs driven by extensive π-π interactions is energetically favorable and that this spontaneous self-assembly proceeds through an "unwinding-threading-rewinding" mechanism. The detailed mechanisms about the folding and self-assembly in an aromatic oligoamide foldamer we present here disclose how the sequence is associated with a well-ordered three-dimensional structure at atomic level and therefore may have implications for designing new foldamers with versatile functions.

Abstract
Linear oligomers equipped with complementary H-bond donor (D) and acceptor (A) sites can interact via intermolecular H-bonds to form duplexes or fold via intramolecular H-bonds. These competing equilibria have been quantified using NMR titration and dilution experiments for seven systems featuring different recognition sites and backbones. For all seven architectures, duplex formation is observed for homo-sequence 2-mers (AA·DD) where there are no competing folding equilibria. The corresponding hetero-sequence AD 2-mers also form duplexes, but the observed self-association constants are strongly affected by folding equilibria in the monomeric states. When the backbone is flexible (five or more rotatable bonds separating the recognition sites), intramolecular H-bonding is favored, and the folded state is highly populated. For these systems, the stability of the AD·AD duplex is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that of the corresponding AA·DD duplex. However, for three architectures which have more rigid backbones (fewer than five rotatable bonds), intramolecular interactions are not observed, and folding does not compete with duplex formation. These systems are promising candidates for the development of longer, mixed-sequence synthetic information molecules that show sequence-selective duplex formation.

Abstract
The development of foldamer-based receptors is driven by the design of monomers with specific properties. Herein, we introduce a pyridazine-pyridine-pyridazine diacid monomer and its incorporation into helical aromatic oligoamide foldamer containers. This monomer codes for a wide helix diameter and can sequester metal ions on the inner wall of the helix cavity. Crystallographic studies and NMR titrations show that part of the metal coordination sphere remains available and may then promote the binding of a guest within the cavity. In addition to metal coordination, binding of the guest is assisted by cooperative interactions with the helix host, thereby resulting in significant enhancements depending on the foldamer sequence, and in slow guest capture and release on the NMR time scale. In the absence of metal ions, the pyridazine-pyridine-pyridazine monomer promotes an extended conformation of the foldamer that results in aggregation, including the formation of an intertwined duplex.
