A Stereoregular Polyphenylacetylene Derivative Bearing an Amino Group as a Probe for Chirality Assignments of Acids by Circular Dichroism

Abstract
Cis-transoidal poly(4-(N,N-diisopropylaminomethyl)phenylacetylene) prepared by polymerization with [Rh(nbd)Cl]2 was found to exhibit an induced circular dichroism in the UV-visible region upon complexation with optically active acids probably due to a prevailing one-handed helix formation of the polymer, the sign of which reflects the absolute configuration of the acids.
