abstract = {We have developed a new family of ortho-oligophenylene ethynylene (o-OPE) metallofoldamers. The
folding of these helicates is induced by nucleating carbon–metal interactions between Ag(I) cations and
the alkynes of the inner core of the o-OPEs. These o-OPEs form metal–organic assemblies where at
least three alkyne moieties are held in close proximity to form novel Ag(I)-complexes with the metal ion
lodged into the helical cavity. NMR titration experiments and photokinetic studies have provided
quantitative data about the thermodynamic and kinetic features of such binding/folding phenomena.
X-ray diffraction and DFT studies have been performed to extract structural information on how the Ag(I)
cation is accommodated into the cavity. The great simplicity and versatility of these new
metallofoldamers open up the possibility to develop novel structures with applications in material
science and/or in asymmetric catalysis.},
