Metallofoldamers are oligomers that fold into three–dimensional structures upon coordination with metal ions, and show an ability to form 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. Metallofoldamers: Supramolecular Architectures from Helicates to Biomimetics describes thevariety of interactions between oligomers and metal species, with a focus on non–natural synthetic molecules.
