There are many ways to achieve such a matrix, but you should think about how you would store your data. Do you really want a character matrix?
A very easy way to obtain the interactions would be using NDGRID
A = 'abcde'
[B1, B2] = ndgrid(A)
which stores the interactions in two separate yet related matrices ...
It all depends on what you want to do with the result!
