Pnictogen bonding (PnB) is an attraction interaction that originates from the anisotropic distribution of electron density of pnictogen elements, which however has been rarely found in nitrogen atoms. In this work, for the first time, we unveil the general presence of N-involved PnB in aromatic or aliphatic imide groups and reveal its implications in chiral self-assembly of folding. This long-neglected interaction was consolidated by Cambridge structural database (CSD) searching as well as subsequent computational studies. Though the presence of PnB has limited effects on spectroscopic properties in the solution phase, conformation locking effects are sufficiently expressed in the chiral folding and self-assembly behavior. PnB anchors the chiral conformation to control the emergence and inversion of chiroptical signals, while intramolecular PnB induces the formation of supramolecular tilt chirality. It also enables the chiral folding of imide-containing amino acid or peptide derivatives, which induces the formation of unique secondary structural sequences such as β-sheets. Finally, the effects of PnB in directing folded helical structures were revealed. Examples of cysteine and cystine derivatives containing multiple N⋯O and N⋯S PnBs constitute an α-helix like secondary structure with characteristic circular dichroism. This work discloses the comprehensive existence of imide-involved PnB, illustrates its important role in folding and self-assembly, and sheds light on the rational fabrication of conformation-locked compounds and polymers with controllable chiroptical activities.
