Nanofiber formation via the self-assembly of a chiral regioregular poly(azomethine).
An optically active pi-conjugated poly(azomethine) can be self-assembled into nanometer-sized fibrous architectures with a unique optical activity in the film state, whereas its corresponding racemic analogue did not show any distinct self-assembling properties.
