Chiral Amplification in the Transcription of Supramolecular Helicity into a Polymer Backbone

Abstract

A chiral supramolecular “sergeant” as the structure-directing agent affects the backbone stereochemistry during polymerization of the achiral “soldier” monomers. The polymer obtained shows preferred helical folding despite its mixed microstructure.
