Merging Supramolecular and Covalent Helical Polymers: Four Helices Within a Single Scaffold
Zulema Fernández, Berta Fernández, Emilio Quiñoá, Félix Freire
Abstract
-decyl alaninate as the pendant group yielded the desired scaffolds. These polymers adopt a stretched and almost planar polyene helix, where the OPE units are arranged describing a helical structure. As a result, a novel multihelix material was prepared, the ECD spectra of which are dominated by the OPE axial array.
