title: Highly effective, easily accessible screw-sense-determining end group in the asymmetric polymerization of 1,2-diisocyanobenzenes.
abstract: Enantiopure helical poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl) was formed stereoselectively in the polymerization of 1,2-diisocyanobenzene using a new organopalladium initiator bearing the (4S,5S)-N-acyl-4,5-dihydro-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl group as the polymer-end screw-sense-determinant.
