Mechanism of Helix Induction in Poly(4-carboxyphenyl isocyanide) with Chiral Amines and Memory of the Macromolecular Helicity and Its Helical Structures
and DMSO-water mixtures containing less than 30 vol % water could not maintain the optical activity after removal of the chiralamines (poly-1a-H). We now report fully detailed studies of the helix induction mechanism with chiralamines and the memory of the macromolecularhelicity in water and a DMSO-water mixture by various spectroscopic measurements, theoretical calculations, and persistence length
