Molecules in this class have shown an impressive ability to form single-handed helical structures and other three-dimensional architectures. Several metallofoldamers have been applied as sensors due to their selective folding when binding to a specific metal ion, while others show promise for applications as responsive materials on the basis of their ability to fold and unfold upon changes in the oxidation state of the coordinated metal ion, and as novel catalysts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMetallofoldamers: From Helicates to Biomimetic Architectures\u003c\/i\u003e describes the variety of interactions between oligomers and metal species, with a focus on non-natural synthetic molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics covered include:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe major classes of foldamers and their folding driving force\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emetalloproteins and metalloenzymes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehelicates: self-assembly, st\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Overall, the book is an interesting read and a useful reference for the chemistry of helicates and for those interested in metallosupramolecular chemistry more generally.”  (\u003ci\u003eApplied Organometallic Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e, 31 October 2014)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Metalloproteins and Metallopeptides – Natural Metallofoldamers 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eVasiliki Lykourinou and Li-June Ming\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Metalloproteins 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Metallopeptides 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Conclusion and Perspectives 28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Introduction to Unnatural Foldamers 51\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eClaudia Tomasini and Nicola Castellucci\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 General Definition of Foldamers 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Biotic Foldamers 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Abiotic Foldamers 70\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Organization Induced by External Agents 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Applications 78\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 Conclusions and Outlook 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 81\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Self-Assembly Principles of Helicates 91\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eJosef Hamacek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Introduction 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Thermodynamic Considerations in Self-Assembly 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Cooperativity in Self-Assembly 100\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Kinetic Aspects of Multicomponent Organization 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Understanding Self-Assembly Processes 108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Secondary Structure and Stabilizing Interactions 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 Conclusions 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 120\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Structural Aspects of Helicates 125\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eMartin Berg and Arne L\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eü\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003etzen\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Introduction 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Structural Dynamics 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Template Effects 129\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Sequence Selectivity 130\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Self-Sorting Effects in Helicate Formation 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.6 Diastereoselectivity I – “Meso”-Helicate versus Helicate Formation 138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.7 Diastereoselectivity II – Enantiomerically Pure Helicates from Chiral Ligands 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.8 Summary and Outlook 150\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Helical Structures Featuring Thiolato Donors 159\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eF.
