157. For ortho-substituted isomers rigidified by only one H-bond (two such isomers can be generated for an oligomer as simple as 2a by flipping one benzene ring to disrupt one H-bond while keeping the other intact), the distance between amide proton and protons of methoxy group whose oxygen atom is not involved in H-bond would be close to or larger than 5 Å. For methoxy group involved, one of its protons will be less than 3 Å away from the amide proton. This suggests that probably only one NOE can be detected for every amide proton for these two alternative isomers containing only one H-bond. Or conservatively, one strong and one very weak NOE should be seen. This differs from the isomers containing two H-bonds (i.e., three-center H-bonding system in 2a or a continuous H-bonding network in oligomers 3 - 6) where two NOEs with comparable intensities should be seen between every amide proton and its two neighboring methoxy methyl groups.
