Abstract

Abstract Molecular strands composed of alternating 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 6- pyridinedicarbonyl units have been designed to self-organize into single stranded helical structures upon forming intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Pentameric strands 11, 12, and 14, heptameric strands 1 and 20, and undecameric strand 15 have been synthesized using stepwise convergent strategies. Single helical conformations have been characterized in ...
