Communication of information through the global switching of conformation in synthetic mols. has hitherto entailed the inversion of chirality. Here, we report a class of oligomer through which information may be communicated through a global reversal of polarity. Ethylene-bridged oligoureas are constitutionally sym., conformationally flexible mols. organized by a single chain of hydrogen bonds running the full length of the oligomer. NMR reveals that this hydrogen-bonded chain may undergo a coherent reversal of directionality. The directional uniformity of the hydrogen-bond chain allows it to act as a channel for the spatial communication of information on a mol. scale. A binding site at the terminus of an oligomer detects local information about changes in pH or anion concentration and transmits that information-in the form of a directionality switch in the hydrogen-bond chain-to a remote polarity-sensitive fluorophore. This propagation of polarity-encoded information provides a new mechanism for mol. communication.
