Foldamers combining aliphatic and aromatic main-chain units often produce atypical structures that cannot easily be accessed from purely aromatic or aliphatic sequences. We report solid-state evidence that sequences comprising α-amino acids and quinoline-based monomers adopt conformations that combine the folding propensities of both components. Foldamers 2 and 3 having an XQQ repeat motif (X=α-amino acid, Q=quinoline) were synthesized. Crystals of 2 (X=Phe, Q with an anionic side chain) obtained from water revealed an aromatic helix
