The rational design of conformationally controlled foldable modules can lead to a deeper insight into the conformational space of complex biological molecules where non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π-stacking are known to play a pivotal role. Squaramides are known to have excellent hydrogen bonding capabilities and hence, are ideal molecules for designing foldable modules that can mimic the secondary structures of bio-molecules. The π-stacking induced folding of bis-squaraines tethered using aliphatic primary and secondary-diamine linkers of varying length is explored with a simple strategy of invoking small perturbations involving the length linkers and degree of substitution. Solution phase NMR investigations in combination with molecular dynamics simulations suggest that bis-squaraines predominantly exist as extended conformations. Structures elucidated by X-ray crystallography confirmed a variety of folded and extended secondary conformations including hairpin turns and 𝛽-sheets which are determined by the hierarchy of π-stacking relative to N–H···O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, C15H16N2O2S, contains a five-membered thiophene ring fused to a benzene ring and a substituted pyrimidinone ring. All three rings in each of the independent molecules of the asymmetric unit lie in approximately the same plane. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions.
