Liquid Crystal Magneto-Electrochemical Polymerization to Synthesize -Conjugated Polymer Having Linear Dichroism

摘要

Chiral conjugated polymers were prepared by electrochemical polymerization of achiral monomers in a chiral liquid crystal (CLC) electrolyte solution [1,2]. The polymer films prepared in liquid crystal shows electrochromism (Fig 1), and circular dichroism. This method can be called 'liquid crystal chiral electrochemical polymerization'.
