Abstract:The study of metallopolymers with controllable helical sense remains in its infancy. We report arabinose‐functionalized (Zn‐salphen)‐based conjugated polymers that display mirror‐image circular dichroism spectra for L‐ and D‐sugar sidechains respectively, signifying ordered (helical) coiling of the polymer backbone with opposite screw‐sense preferences. The observation of different spectroscopic behavior and Cotton effects for a variety of solvents (in a reversible manner) and temperatures, ascribed to changes… Show more
