Chirality induction in metal-induced achiral polythiophene aggregates assisted by optically active amines and polythiophene.
A regioregular achiral polythiophene bearing oxazoline pendant groups formed a unique optically active metal-induced supramolecular aggregate upon complexation with chiral amines or in the presence of a chiral polythiophene in a good solvent for the polymers, thus showing an induced circular dichroism.
