| Abstract | Foldamers are created to imitate natural species such as proteins and DNA. It is the most important goal for foldamer chemists to thoroughly understand complex assembly behaviours of natural species and to perform similar biological functions. As natural counterparts, many artificial peptides could form stable helical conformations and further self-assemble into diverse aggregates. In contrast, “abiotic” foldamers, such as oligo(m-phenyleneethynylene)s [oligo(m-PE)s] and aromatic tertiary amides, for example, seemed to be too “cosy” to further aggregate towards tertiary or quaternary folds, whereas the second structure of them all, no matter if it was a helix or a coil, could be well adjusted in solution. 8] In particular, “abiotic” foldamer-based liquid crystals (LCs) are seldom reported, although they are popular for peptidomimetics. 9] Notably, Moore and co-workers have found that oligo(m-PEMe)s could form a hexagonal structure with helical backbones in the solid state (Scheme 1).
