Fig. 10. Panes (a and b) display examples of chemical structures that give rise to foldamers. The judiciously placed hydrogen bonds dictating the folding of the molecule are highlighted in red in pane (b). (c) Single crystal X-ray structure of an analogue of the foldamer shown in pane (b). (d) The |gabs| (ca. 388 nm) and |glum| (ca. 430 nm) of the foldamers shown in pane (a and b). The lengths were calculated based on the size of a 4-repeat unit of CQ4.66.
