In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

The helix is the central structural motif in biological macromolecules, such as DNA and
proteins, and is also the ubiquitous object in nature from microscopic to macroscopic points …

Hydrogen bonding is one of the most important non-covalent interactions in both biological
(DNA, peptides, saccharides etc.) and artificial systems (various soft materials, host–guest …

Salt bridges formed by amidines and carboxylic acids represent an important class of
noncovalent interaction in biomolecular and supramolecular systems. Isothermal titration …

While numerous hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have been reported,
typically these cannot be prepared predictably or in a modular fashion. In this work, we …

The interaction of tetratopic amidinium-containing receptors with terephthalate anions leads
to porous framework materials assembled through charge-assisted hydrogen bonds. The …

In the last few years, the amidinium⋯ carboxylate interaction has emerged as a powerful tool
for the relatively predictable construction of families of three dimensional hydrogen bonded …

A series of pyridinium-carboxylate salts (1–3) were designed, synthesized and structurally
characterized to explore the importance of salt-bridge (SB) interactions in building self …

A series of dimer strands consisting of m-terphenyl backbones bearing complementary
chiral or achiral amidines and achiral carboxylic acid residues connected by various types of …

Even though the behavior of collagen monomers self-assembling into fibrils is commonly
understood in terms of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, the mechanisms that drive …
