Abstract
While water clusters play an essential role in the stability of biological structures, their ability to stabilize synthetic oligomers is less understood. We have synthesized a heptameric sheet-like aromatic oligoamide foldamer with ferrocene as turn unit. It shows strong interactions with water in the solid state and in solution. The water binding limits the fluxional processes resulting from the flexible ferrocene unit, highlighting the importance of such interactions for conformational studies on this class of molecule.
