title: Selective sulfate binding induces helical folding of an indolocarbazole oligomer in solution and solid state.
abstract: Hydrogen bonding to anions drives the helical folding of an indolocarbazole oligomer, thus resulting in an internal cavity with six NHs and two OHs for binding sulfate with high selectivity.
