how to write all pair end file name in a tab delimited format

I do have pair-end file name like this, could you please share a command that can write all the file name in a tab-delimited format like shown below:

Leaf_T1_F_R10_S1_unmapped.R1.fq Leaf_T1_F_R10_S1_unmapped.R2.fq 
Leaf_T1_F_R2_S5_unmapped.R1.fq  Leaf_T1_F_R2_S5_unmapped.R2.fq 
Leaf_T1_F_R3_S4_unmapped.R1.fq  Leaf_T1_F_R3_S4_unmapped.R2.fq

Many thanks
