利用分子自组装的方法控制大分子量的线性有机分子的构象是物理有机化学一个富于挑战性的研究课题.近年来.化学家已经成功利用不同的分子内非共价键作用力如氢键和疏溶剂作用等诱导线性分子的折叠乃至螺旋构象的产生.综述了近年来这种新的非生物二级结构形式在分子识别研究中的应用.
One of the challenging fields in physical organic chemistry is the control of the conformation of large linear organic molecules. In recent years, different non-covalent forces, especially hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction, have been successfully applied to induce the folded or helical conformations of linear organic molecules. This paper reviews the recent applications of this new class of non-biological secondary structures in molecular recognition.
