Abstract
This paper describes a simple methodology designed to prove that poly(methylphenylsilylene) (1) in solution has a helical conformation by a comparing the optical properties of optically inactive 1 with those of its optically active copolymer derivative. This approach can clarify the main-chain conformation from spectroscopic evidence.Keywords
