(Matrix Presented) Incorporation of a single hydrogen bonded β-turn mimic in the backbone of a m-phenylene ethynylene oligomer is shown to affect the thermodynamic properties of the folding reaction. Oligomers 1 and 2 both undergo solvophobic helix formation, but hydrogen bonded oligomer 1 was found to form a more stable helix with a higher tolerance to solvent denaturation than isomeric, non-hydrogen bonded oligomer 2.
