Abstract

A 1,4-linked triazole/amide based peptidomimetic macrocycle, synthesized from a triazole amide oligomer of cis-furanoid sugar triazole amino acids, possesses a conformation resembling the d-,l-α-amino acid based cyclic peptides despite having uniform backbone chirality. It undergoes a unique mode of self-assembly through an antiparallel backbone to backbone intermolecular H-bonding involving amide NH and triazole N2/N3 as well as parallel stacking via amide NH and carbonyl oxygen H-bonding, leading to the formation of a tubular nanostructure.
