Intramolecular F⋅⋅⋅HN hydrogen bonds have been utilized for the first time to construct a new series of foldamers from aromatic amides (see picture; R1=H, Me; R2=CON(n‐C8H17)2). Moreover, the resulting crescent and helical architectures are good acceptors for binding dialkylammonium ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
