Many abiotic foldamers are composed of achiral parts but adopt chiral geometries, like helices. In these systems, there is no inherent preference for one handedness of the fold. Ortho-phenylenes are a class of aromatic foldamers that fold into helices driven by arene-arene stacking interactions. Although their folding is now reasonably understood, it is not clear […]
