Citric acid encapsulation by a double helical foldamer in competitive solvents†
Abstract
A new double helical aromatic oligoamide capsule able to bind to citric acid in polar and protic solvents was prepared. Aromatic amino acids in the sequence encode both structural (strand curvature and double helix formation) and functional features (recognition pattern) of the assembled capsule.
