Orthogonal Halogen‐Bonding‐Driven 3D Supramolecular Assembly of Right‐Handed Synthetic Helical Peptides

: Peptide-mediated self-assembly is a prevalent method for creating highly ordered supramolecular architectures. Herein, we report the first example of orthogonal C-X⋅⋅⋅X-C/C-X⋅⋅⋅π halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding driven crystalline architectures based on synthetic helical peptides bearing hybrids of l-sulfono-γ-AApeptides and natural amino acids. The combination of halogen bonding, intra-/intermolecular hydrogen bonding, and intermolecular hydrophobic interactions enabled novel 3D supramolecular assembly. The orthogonal halogen bonding in the supramolecular architecture exerts a novel mechanism for the self-assembly of synthetic peptide foldamers and gives new insights into molecular recognition, supramolecular design, and rational design of biomimetic structures.
