In the last few years dipeptides with two hydrophobic residues (hydrophobic dipeptides)
have emerged as an unexpected source of stable microporous organic materials …

We describe a concise, solid support‐based synthetic method for the preparation of cyclic d,
l‐α‐peptides bearing 1, 4, 5, 8‐naphthalenetetracarboxylic acid diimide (NDI) side chains …

Self-assembly of cyclic peptides is an attractive strategy for making hollow tubular
structures.[1–4] Stacking of ring-shaped molecules of flat conformation can be stabilized by …

Scheme 1 (left) shows how molecules of 1b can stack to constitute a nanotube. As each
constituent cyclic peptide has its g-Ach NH and C= O groups on one face (the g face) and its …

Cyclic bis (1, 3-butadiynes) with sulfur centers placed in the α-position to the 1, 3-butadiyne
units (2 (n)) were synthesized by Glaser coupling of the corresponding open chain dithia-α …

Three C3 symmetric macrolactams were very efficiently cyclized from their linear precursors.
Adequately located substituents are responsible for the enhancement of reactivity that is not …

Throughout history symmetry and chirality have inspired artists and scientists alike. Given
that rotational axes are the only elements of symmetry compatible with chirality, it is not …

Crystalline materials exhibiting non‐centrosymmetry and possessing substantial surface
dipole moments play a critical role in piezoelectricity. Designing biocompatible self …

Cyclic peptides with disc‐shaped structures have emerged as potent building blocks for the
preparation of new biomaterials in fields ranging from biological to material science. In this …

Pepped up polymers: The synthesis and properties of novel chiral cyclic peptides designed
to complex with suitable polymers through hydrogen bonding are described. A substituted …
