Two aromatic oligoamides, the 8-residue H8 and 16-residue H16, that adopt stable, cavity-containing helical conformations were examined for their complexation of rodlike dicationic guest, octyl viologen (OV 2+) and parabis(trimethylammonium)benzene (TB 2+). Studies based on 1D and 2D 1 H NMR, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and Xray crystallography demonstrated that H8 and H16 wraps around two OV 2+ ions as a double helix and a single helix, respectively, resulting in 2:2 and 1:2 complexes. Compared to H8, the longer H16 binds the OV 2+ ions in much higher binding affinity and with extraordinary negative cooperativity. In contrast to its 1:2 binding with OV 2+ , the binding of helix H16 with the bulkier guest TB 2+ shows the same affinity but with a 1:1 ratio. This novel host-guest system is featured by the pairwise placement of otherwise strongly repulsive OV 2+ ions in the same cavity, strong negative cooperativity, and mutual adaptability of hosts and guests. The resultant 2:2, 1:2, and 1:1 complexes are highly stable pseudofoldaxanes with few known precedents. a.< Leer menos
