The helix is the central structural motif in biological macromolecules, such as DNA and
proteins, and is also the ubiquitous object in nature from microscopic to macroscopic points …

Chiroptical spectroscopy exploring the interaction of matter with polarized light provides
many tools for molecular structure and interaction studies. Here, some recent discoveries …

Unique macromolecules that fold into a preferred-handed helical conformation induced by
external chiral stimuli are mainly described in this review. In contrast to small molecular …

A unique feature of synthetic helical polymers for the detection and amplification of chirality
is briefly described in this article. In sharp contrast to host–guest and supramolecular …

A unique feature of dynamic helical, chromophoric macromolecules that enables the
detection of a small imbalance in chiral guest molecules through a noncovalent bonding …

N, N′, N′′-Trialkylbenzene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) cooperatively self-assemble
into one-dimensional, helical supramolecular polymers in apolar alkane solutions. Previous …

We include 208 references with this Perspective to describe various helical polymers,
particularly polyisocyanates. Interest in polyisocyanates with helical properties is driven by …

We report a unique hierarchical amplification of chiral information from a nonracemic guest
to macromolecular helicity, followed by a mesoscopic, supramolecular cholesteric twist in …

In this study we linked zero-dimensional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with
one-dimensional single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as dual-dimensional …

A stereoregular poly (phenylacetylene) bearing the aza-18-crown-6 ether as the pendant
(poly-1) formed a predominantly one-handed helical conformation upon complexation with …
