Transfer of Supramolecular Chirality in Block Copoly(thiophene)s

Abstract

Line up! A block copolymer, composed of an (achiral) poly(3-hexylthiophene) and a chiral, poly(3-(3,7-dimethyloctyloxy)thiophene) was prepared. It was shown that the chiral block transfers its supramolecular chirality to the achiral block, demonstrating that the blocks influence their mutual supramolecular organization (see figure).
