Graphical Abstract

Molekulare Dehnübungen: Ein helicales synthetisches Oligomer faltet sich bei selektiver partieller Protonierung zu einer linearen Struktur auf, bei weiterer Protonierung bildet sich erneut eine helicale Konformation (siehe Bild).

9The data cannot be interpreted unambiguously. The addition of MsOH causes some variations in chemical shifts, which suggests that protonation occurs, but no pyridinium signal is observed. The titrations are complicated by the poor miscibility of CDCl₃ and MsOH, and cosolvents interfere with the protonation.

10Protonation also causes the dissociation of the double helices formed by these oligomers, see: V. Berl, I. Huc, R. G. Khoury, M. J. Krische, J.-M. Lehn, Nature 2000, 407, 720;

11The assignment is based on the comparison of this spectrum to the spectra of shorter oligomers, and on the integration and the values of the chemical shifts of these signals: the signals at higher field belong to the pyridinedicarbonyl units, and the signals at lower field belong to the diaminopyridine units; the less deshielded and broader signal at δ=14.9 ppm is assigned to the terminal pyridinium unit, which can form a hydrogen bond with only one carbonyl group.

12The band induced in the pyridinium chromophores becomes faint at very high TfOH concentration (above 30 equiv) or in the presence of MeOH, presumably because of a weaker induction in protic medium.
