α,γ-Peptide nanotube templating of one-dimensional parallel fullerene arrangements
(Figure Presented) The formation and full characterization of single self-assembling α,γ-peptide nanotubes (α,γ-SPNs) is described. The introduction of C60 into cyclic peptides allows the preparation of supramolecular 1D fullerene arrangements

Eleven γ-aminocyclopentane carboxylic acid (Acpca) platforms, including four dihydroxy representatives (19-22), three hydroxy analogues (34-36), and four deoxy derivatives (30-33), were prepared in a chiral nonracemic format. These simple units were then
