A special issue of the journal Tetrahedron on the Chemistry of Foldamers edited by IECB researchers

This Tetrahedron Symposium-in-print, edited by Ivan Huc and Gilles Guichard, reflects the chemists’ creativity and the breadth of research in the field of foldamers, i.e. artificial folded molecular architectures inspired by the structures of biopolymers. It contains 26 original papers authored by contributors from Australia, China, France, Hungary, India, Italy, Korea, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Many of the results described in these papers were presented at the Bordeaux 2012 Symposium on Foldamers co-chaired by Ivan Huc and Gilles Guichard at IECB in January 2012 and organized in the frame of a COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) action (see http://foldamer.org/ )
