Redox-controlled hybridization of helical foldamers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 May 14;55(40):5743-5746. doi: 10.1039/c9cc02498k.

Abstract

Tetrathiafulvalene redox units were grafted at both extremities of an oligopyridine-dicarboxamide foldamer through a straightforward copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The present work demonstrates that the hybridization equilibrium of foldamers can be tuned through redox stimulations.
