25. Contrasting chromophores have been used to quantify helicity in different segments of a helical oligomer (Ref. [8c]) and the chain-length dependence of a CD signal has been used to estimate the degree of order in a polyisocyanate carrying a chiral terminator: G. Y. Nath, S. Samal, S.-Y. Park, C. N. Murthy, J.-S. Lee, Macromolecules 2006, 39, 5965.
26. Helices containing only achiral amino acids but which invert slowly on the NMR timescale would of course exhibit anisochronous signals, see; a) N. Ousaka, T. Sato, R. Kuroda, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 463;

28. Helix preference in structures of this type has been controlled by a single terminal residue, see; c) J.-M. Léger, P. Guionneau, I. Huc, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 12943.
29. The choice of Cbz-L-Phe as the helix controller was made after a brief survey of amino acids, in which this terminator performed exceptionally well, presumably because it maximizes the difference in stability between the two diastereomeric helices, and consequently the chemical-shift difference observed in the reporter.
30. 2OR analogues showed poor anisochronicity, perhaps due to freer bond rotation in the absence of a C-terminal hydrogen bond.

37. 3 were broad and concentration-dependent, suggesting aggregation in this solvent.
38. Between -20 and - 50 °C, increased broadening of these singlets suggests that the rate of helix inversion approaches the slow-exchange regime only below -50°C; see ref. [4].
