Abstract

The conformational control in synthetic chain molecules of foldamers were studied. The accumulation of noncovalent interactions that dictated conformation had no direct counterpart in small molecule chemistry. The results showed that the van der Waals and solvophobic interactions were crucial in foldamer designs.
