title: Poly(2,7-di-n-pentyldibenzofulvene) showing chiroptical properties in the solid state based purely on a chiral conformation.
abstract: Poly(2,7-di-n-pentyldibenzofulvene)s with no stereocenters, obtained by anionic polymerization using chiral 9-fluorenyllithium ligand complexes, showed intense circular dichroism in film form due purely to the chiral conformation of the main chain, while no chiroptical properties were detectable in solution.
