In the last decades, chemists have developed methods to synthesize helical molecular
architectures using a combination of covalent and non‐covalent interactions. Very recently …

Conjugated ladder polymers (cLPs) are polymers consisting of continuous fused aromatic
rings with π conjugation along their backbone. This unique structure imparts cLPs with …

Synthetic breakthroughs diversify the molecules and polymers available to chemists. We
now report the first successful synthesis of a series of optically‐pure 2, 2′‐tethered …

Fully π‐conjugated ladder polymers with a spiral geometry represent a new class of helical
polymers with great potential for organic nanodevices, but there is no precedent for an …

Helical ladder polymers are designed by connecting planar indenofluorene chromophores
by chiral triptycene linkers. The resulting hexagonal helices exhibit a substantial degree of …

Ladder polymers with backbones of uninterrupted ring-fused units have attracted academic
and industrial attention for decades because of their extended π-conjugation and intrinsic …

Mandelic acid and its analogues are highly valuable medical intermediates and play an
important role in the pharmaceutical industry, biochemistry, and life sciences. Therefore …

In assemblies of identical molecules or chromophores, electronic excitations can be
described as excitons, bound electron‐hole pairs that can move from site to site as a pair in …

A series of enantiopure triptycene-based one-handed helical ladder polymers containing π-
extended achiral segments with naphthalene, fluorene, and carbazole spacers was …

A series of optically active helical poly (phenylacetylene) s (PPA-Pro 1, PPA-Pro 3, PPA-Pro
6, PPA-Pro 9, and PPA-Pro 12) bearing different chain lengths of L-proline oligopeptide in …
