The study introduces a novel method to modify side-chain substituents of poly(quinoline-2,3-diylmethylene) (PQM), improving solubility and stability while maintaining the π-stacked helical structure. The method broadens PQM's application potential.
Inspired by the toughening phenomena in biological systems, a synergistic covalent-and-supramolecular polymerization strategy was applied to construct mechanically strong transparent materials.
Chain length and the functionality of the linker between a chiral pendant and the main chain in vinylic chiral polymers play a crucial role in achieving their “helical sense”.
The present work reports the synthesis and the study of a series of organic semi-conductors constructed on an emerging molecular fragment, namely the C1-substituted SBF.
Poly(phenylacetylene) bearing chiral (S)-mandelamide receptors exhibited an instantaneous colorimetric response dependent on the chirality of the added amino acid derivative, demonstrating its applicability for facile chirality analysis.
