Formation of a Homo Double Helix of a Conjugated Polymer with Carboxy Groups and Amplification of the Macromolecular Helicity by Chiral Amines Sandwiched between the Strands

摘要

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA, enormous efforts have been made to mimic its structure based on synthetic and supramolecular approaches. Until today, a few structural motifs have been proposed for the rational design and synthesis of artificial double helices based on attractive interactions, such as metal coordinations, inter-strand hydrogen-bonding, and aromatic-aromatic interactions.
