Abstract: Foldamers are linear molecules that are driven by collective noncovalent forces to fold into a conformationally ordered state in solution or solid state. Three kinds of foldamers have been designed, synthesized and characterized, which include: 1) solvophobically-driven oligo(ethylene glycol) helical foldamers, 2) hydrogen bonded oligohydrazide foldamers and 3) hydrogen-bonded porphyrin-appended foldamers. The qualitative and quantitative investigations by NMR, UV-vis, fluorescent, and circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that these foldamers can act as efficient receptors for discrete kinds of organic molecules and ions in different organic solvents. The supramolecular chiral induction or amplification has also been investigated for the hydrogen bonded folding systems.
