Surprising impact of remote groups on the folding–unfolding and dimer-chain equilibria of bifunctional H-bonding unimers

Abstract

Oligoamide 1, consisting of two H-bonding units linked by a trimethylene linker, was previously found to form a very stable, folded dimer. In this work, replacing the side chains and end groups of 1 led to derivatives that show the surprising impact of end groups on the folding and dimer-chain equilibria of the resultant molecules.
