Abstract
Symmetrically substituted poly(diphenylacetylene)s bearing optically active 2-octyloxycarbonyl groups at the para-positions of the pendant phenyl rings not only show a unique solvent-dependent helix inversion to afford diastereomeric right- and left-handed helical polymers but also significant unprecedented solvent-dependent changes in the helix inversion barrier of the polymer backbone resulting in switching between static or dynamic behavior of the helical polymers at approximately room temperature depending on the solvents used.

Abstract
A new generation of soluble phenothiazinyl merocyanine substituted polyacetylenes can be readily synthesized by rhodium-catalyzed polymerization of the corresponding 3-ethynyl phenothiazines, accessible by Sonogashira coupling and Knoevenagel condensation. UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy of 7-acceptor-substituted phenothiazinyl polyacetylenes reveal that these polyacetylenes with conjugatively ligated merocyanines are luminescent in solution with positive emission solvatochromism and, in some cases, with distinct solid-state luminescence.

Abstract
Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share many structural properties, such as helix induction or conformational communication mechanisms. The introduction of stimuli responsive building blocks or monomer repeating units in these materials triggers conformational or structural changes, due to the presence/absence of the external stimulus, which are transmitted to the helix resulting in different effects, such as assymetry amplification, helix inversion or even changes in the helical scaffold (elongation, J/H helical aggregates). In this review, we show through selected examples how different stimuli (e.g., temperature, solvents, cations, anions, redox, chiral additives, pH or light) can alter the helical structures of dynamic helical polymers (covalent and supramolecular) and foldamers acting on the conformational composition or molecular structure of their components, which is also transmitted to the macromolecular helical structure.

Abstract
The development of chiral alignment media for measuring anisotropic NMR parameters provides an opportunity to determine the absolute configuration of chiral molecules without the need for derivatization. However, chiral alignment media with a high and robust enantiodiscriminating property for a wide range of chiral molecules are still scarce. In this study, we synthesized cholesterol-end-functionalized helical polyisocyanides from a chiral monomer using a cholesterol-based alkyne-Pd(II) initiator. These stereoregular polyisocyanides form stable and weak anisotropic lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) in dichloromethane systems, exhibiting highly optical activities in both single left- and right-handed helices. The preparation process of the media was straightforward, and the aligning property of the LLCs could be controlled by adjusting the concentration and temperature. Using the chiral polyisocyanides, we extracted the residual dipolar coupling for an enantiomeric pair of isopinocampheol (IPC), as well as a number of pharmaceutical molecules, demonstrating excellent enantiodiscriminating properties for a broad range of chiral compounds.

Abstract
A pair of enantiomeric photoswitchable PdII catalysts, alkyne-PdII /LR-azo and alkyne-PdII /LS-azo , were prepared via the coordination of alkyne-PdII and azobenzene-modified phosphine ligands LR-azo and LS-azo . Owing to the cis-trans photoisomerization of the azobenzene moiety, alkyne-PdII /LR-azo and alkyne-PdII /LS-azo exhibited different polymerization activities, helix-sense selectivities, and enantioselectivities during the polymerization of isocyanide monomers under irradiation of different wavelength lights. Furthermore, the achiral isocyanide monomer A-1 could be polymerized efficiently using alkyne-PdII /LR-azo under dark condition in a living/controlled manner. Further, it generated single right-handed helical poly-A-1m (LR-azo ), confirmed by the circular dichroism spectra and atomic force microscopy images. However, the polymerization of A-1 almost could not be initiated under 420 nm light in identical conditions of dark condition. Moreover, the photoswitchable catalyst alkyne-PdII /LR-azo exhibited high enantioselectivity for the polymerization of the racemates of L-1 and D-1, respectively. D-1 was polymerized preferentially under dark condition with a D-1/L-1 rate ratio of 70, yielding single right-handed polyisocyanides. Additionally, reversible enantioselectivity was observed under 420 nm light using alkyne-PdII /LR-azo , and the calculated polymerization rate ratio of L-1/D-1 was 57 because of the isomerization of the azobenzene moiety of the catalyst. Furthermore, alkyne-PdII /LS-azo showed opposite enantioselectivity and helix-sense selectivity during the polymerization of the racemates of L-1 and D-1.

Abstract
This review mainly highlights our studies on the synthesis of one-handed helical polymers with a static memory of helicity based on the noncovalent helicity induction with a helical-sense bias and subsequent memory of the helicity approach that we developed during the past decade. Apart from the previous approaches, an excess one-handed helical conformation, once induced by nonracemic molecules, is immediately retained ("memorized") after the complete removal of the nonracemic molecules, accompanied by a significant amplification of the asymmetry, providing novel switchable chiral materials for chromatographic enantioseparation and asymmetric catalysis as well as a highly sensitive colorimetric and fluorescence chiral sensor. A conceptually new one-handed helix formation in a racemic helical polymer composed of racemic repeating units through the deracemization of the pendants is described.

Abstract
A stereocontrolled degradable polymer was synthesized via living cascade enyne metathesis polymerization. Highly stereodefined N,O-acetal-containing enyne monomers were prepared using the Pd-catalyzed hydroamination of alkoxyallenes and ring-closing metathesis. The resulting chiral polymer exhibited a narrow dispersity window. Block copolymers were prepared not only by sequentially adding nondegradable and degradable monomers but also by using enantiomerically different monomers to produce stereocontrolled blocks. Owing to the hydrolyzable N,O-acetal moiety in the backbone structure, the resulting polymer could degrade under acidic conditions generated using various acid concentrations to control the degradation. Additionally, the aza-Diels-Alder reaction modified the polymer without losing the stereochemistry.

Abstract
Anisotropic NMR spectroscopy, revealing residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) and residual chemical shift anisotropies (RCSAs) has emerged as a powerful tool to determine the configurations of synthetic and complex natural compounds. The deduction of the absolute in addition to the relative configuration is one of the primary goals in the field. Therefore, the investigation of the enantiodiscriminating capabilities of chiral alignment media becomes essential. While RDCs and RCSAs are now used for the determination of the relative configuration routinely, RCSAs have not been measured in chiral alignment media such as chiral liquid crystals. Herein, we present this application by measuring RCSAs for chiral analytes such as indanol and isopinocampheol in the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of an L-valine derived helically chiral polyacetylenes. We have also demonstrated that a single 1D 13 C-{1 H} NMR spectrum suffices to get the RCSAs circumventing the necessity to acquire two spectra at two alignment conditions.

Abstract
Developing eco-friendly chiral organocatalysts with the combined advantages of homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous processes is greatly desired. In this work, a family of amphiphilic one-handed helical polyisocyanides bearing phosphine pendants is prepared, which self-assembles into well-defined chiral micelles in water and showed thermo-responsiveness with a cloud point of approximately 38.4 °C. The micelles with abundant phosphine moieties at the interior efficiently catalyze asymmetric cross Rauhut-Currier reaction in water. Various water-insoluble substrates are transferred to target products in high yield with excellent enantioselectivity. The yield and enantiomeric excess (ee) of the product generated in water are up to 90% and 96%, respectively. Meanwhile, the yields of the same R-C reaction catalyzed by the polymer itself in organic solvents is <16%, with an ee < 72%. The homogeneous reaction of the chiral micelles in water turns to heterogeneous at temperatures higher than the cloud point, and the catalyst precipitation facilitates product isolation and catalyst recovery. The polymer catalyst is recycled 10 times while maintaining activity and enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Conspectusπ-Conjugated polymers have gained significant interest because of their potential applications in optoelectronics, bioelectronics, and other domains. The controlled synthesis of π-conjugated block polymers optimizes their performance and enables novel properties and functions. However, precise control of the self-assembled architectures of π-conjugated polymers remains a formidable challenge. Inspired by the precise helical architectures of biomacromolecules, the helical polymers and the supramolecular helical assemblies have gained significant attention. Helical polymers with an excess of one-handed helicity can be optically active with a strong tendency toward self-assembly. Incorporating a helical polymer into a π-conjugated polymer can induce asymmetric helical assemblies, leading to novel chiral materials with unique functionalities.To control the self-assembly of architectures, π-conjugated polymers are usually synthesized into block copolymers by incorporating a polymer with self-assembling characteristics. Although various π-conjugated block copolymers have been produced, precise and asymmetric self-assembly is still challenging and has rarely been addressed. Incorporating helical polymers into the π-conjugated polymers can induce a precise and asymmetric self-assembly, which transfers the chirality of the helical polymer block to the π-conjugated polymer, resulting in chiral supramolecular architectures with unique chiroptical properties and functionalities. However, synthesizing hybrid block copolymers containing two distinct polymer blocks is complicated. Some general strategies such as connecting the chain ends of two preformed homopolymers and extending the chain of a prefabricated π-conjugated polymer with a second monomer are time-consuming and require complex synthetic protocols. Therefore, developing novel strategies for the facile synthesis of π-conjugated block copolymers with a predictable molar mass, low dispersity, and tunable composition is of practical importance.Recently, we investigated a controlled synthesis of helical polyisocyanides, helical polyallenes, and helical polycarbenes by developing advanced Pd(II) and Ni(II) catalysts. These helical polymers were successfully incorporated into π-conjugated polymers, including polythiophene, polyfluorene, and poly(phenyleneethynylene), via a one-pot sequential living block polymerization of the two distinct monomers using Pd(II)- or Ni(II)-complexes as catalysts. As a result, a variety of well-defined π-conjugated block copolymers containing helical polymeric blocks were readily synthesized. Although the copolymerized monomers possess different structures and polymerization mechanisms, the one-pot block copolymerization followed a living polymerization mechanism and provided the desired π-conjugated block copolymers in high yields with controlled molar mass, narrow size distribution, and tunable composition.Remarkably, the helical polymeric block induces the π-conjugated block copolymer asymmetric self-assembly into a supramolecular, one-handed helical architecture resulting in distinct optical properties. More interestingly, by utilizing the crystallization of conjugated blocks and one-handed helical blocks, the crystallization-driven and helix-induced precise asymmetric living self-assembly yielded a family of uniform and single-handed helical architectures with controlled dimensions, narrow distribution, and well-defined helicity. The transfer of helical chirality to the supramolecular architectures rendered the achiral π-conjugated blocks with unique chiroptical properties such as the emission of white light over a broad optical spectrum and the circularly polarized luminescence.

Abstract
As an active branch within the field of supramolecular polymers, chiral supramolecular polymers (SPs) are an excellent benchmark to generate helical structures that can clarify the origin of homochirality in Nature or help determine new exciting functionalities of organic materials. Herein, we highlight the most utilized strategies to build up chiral SPs by using chiral monomeric units or external stimuli. Selected examples of transfer of asymmetry, in which the point or axial chirality contained by the monomeric units is efficiently transferred to the supramolecular scaffold yielding enantioenriched helical structures, will be presented. The importance of the thermodynamics and kinetics associated with those processes is stressed, especially the influence that parameters such as the helix reversal and mismatch penalties exert on the achievement of amplification of asymmetry in co-assembled systems will also be considered. Remarkable examples of breaking symmetry, in which chiral supramolecular polymers can be attained from achiral self-assembling units by applying external stimuli like stirring, solvent or light, are highlighted. Finally, the specific and promising applications of chiral supramolecular polymers are presented with recent relevant examples.

Abstract
Star polymers consisting of three helical poly(phenylacetylene) chains with a precisely controlled molecular weight (molar mass dispersity < 1.03) were successfully synthesized by the living polymerization of phenylacetylene derivatives with a Rh-based multicomponent catalyst system comprising trifunctional initiators, which have three phenylboronates centered on a benzene ring, the Rh complex [Rh(nbd)Cl]2, diphenylacetylene, triphenylphosphine, and a base. The analysis of chiroptical properties of the optically active star polymers obtained by the living polymerization of optically active phenylacetylene derivatives revealed that the star polymers exhibited chiral amplification properties owing to their unique topology compared with the corresponding linear polymers.

Abstract
Inspired by the helical structure and the resultant exquisite functions of biomolecules, helical polymers have received increasing attention. Here, a series of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(phenyl isocyanide) (P3HT-b-PPI) copolymers were prepared using a simple one-pot living polymerization method. Interestingly, the P3HT80-b-PPI30 films were found to have a helical nanofiber structure. The corresponding device has superior optoelectronic properties, such as a broadened spectral response range from the visible band to the deep ultraviolet (DUV) and an approximately 5-fold longer carrier decay time after DUV light stimulation. An energy consumption of 1.44 fJ per synaptic event was obtained, which is the lowest energy consumption achieved so far with DUV light stimulation. The encryption and decryption of images are implemented using an array of devices. Finally, a photoreceptor neural pathway was constructed to achieve early warning for the recognition of the display of harmful light. This research provides an effective strategy for the development of a novel optoelectronic synaptic device.

Abstract
In-depth studies of chirality and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have become indispensable in the process of learning human nature. Small molecules with CPL activity are one of the research hotspots. However, the CPL properties of such materials are generally not satisfying. Here, we synthesized a series of chiral small molecular fluorophores that cannot demonstrate CPL emission themselves. By introducing an optically inactive helical polymer, chirality transfer and chirality amplification efficiently occur, thereby generating intense CPL emission. Through combining different chiralized fluorophores, multicolor CPL-active films with emission wavelength centered at 463, 525, and 556 nm were fabricated, with the maximum luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) being up to -0.028. Then, benefiting from the strong CPL emission and appropriate energy donor-acceptor system, we further established a circularly polarized fluorescence-energy transfer (CPF-ET) strategy in which the CPL-active films work as a donor emitting circularly polarized fluorescence to excite an achiral fluorophore (Nile red) as the acceptor, producing red CPL with glum of up to -0.011 at around 605 nm.

Abstract
The fabrication of chiral thin films with tunable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) colors is important in developing chiroptical materials but remains challenging due to the lack of assembly-initiated chiral film formation methodology. Here, by adopting a combined solution aggregation and interfacial assembly strategy, we report the fabrication of chiral film materials with full-color and white-light CPL. A biquinoline glutamic acid ester (abbreviated as BQGE) shows a typical aggregation-induced emission property with blue CPL after solution aggregation. Subsequent interfacial assembly of these solution aggregates on a solid substrate leads to the formation of a CPL active film consisting of nanobelt structures. Since the BQGE molecule has a coordination site, the CPL emission of an individual BQGE film can be extended from blue to green emission upon coordination with a zinc ion, accompanied by morphology transition from nanobelts to nanofibers. Further extension to red-color CPL is successfully achieved by coassembly with an achiral acceptor dye. Interestingly, the proper combination of coordination ratio and acceptor loading ratio provides bright white-light CPL emission from the BQGE/Zn2+/PDA triad composite film. This work provides a new approach to fabricating chiroptical film materials with controlled microscopic morphology and tunable CPL properties.

Abstract
We report the reaction of the potassium aluminyl, K[Al(NON)] ([NON]2- = [O(SiMe2NDipp)2]2-, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with a series of isocyanide substrates (R-NC). In the case of tBu-NC, degradation of the isocyanide was observed generating an isomeric mixture of the corresponding aluminium cyanido-κC and -κN compounds, K[Al(NON)(H)(CN)]/K[Al(NON)(H)(NC)]. The reaction with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (Dmp-NC), gave a C3-homologation product, which in addition to C-C bond formation showed dearomatisation of one of the aromatic substituents. In contrast, using adamantyl isocyanide Ad-NC allowed both the C2- and C3-homologation products to be isolated, allowing a degree of control to be exercised over the chain growth process. These data also show that the reaction proceeds through a stepwise addition, supported in this study by the synthesis of the mixed [(Ad-NC)2(Dmp-NC)]2- product. Computational analysis of the bonding within the homologised products confirm a high degree of multiple bond character in the exocyclic ketenimine units of the C2- and C3-products. In addition, the mechanism of chain growth was investigated, identifying different possible pathways leading to the observed products, and highlighting the importance of the potassium cation in formation of the initial C2-chain.

Abstract
Mimicking the structure of proteins using synthetic polymers requires building blocks with structural similarity and the use of various noncovalent and dynamic covalent interactions. We report the synthesis of helical poly(isocyanide)s bearing diaminopyridine and pyridine side-chains and the multistep functionalization of the polymers' side-chains using hydrogen bonding and metal coordination. The orthogonality of the hydrogen bonding and metal coordination was proved by varying the sequence of the multistep assembly. The two side-chain functionalizations are reversible through the use of competitive solvents and/or competing ligands. Throughout the assembly and disassembly, the helical conformation of the polymer backbone is sustained as proved by circular dichroism spectroscopy. These results open the possibility to incorporate helical domains into complex polymer architectures and create a helical scaffold for smart materials.

Abstract
Chiral carbon dots (C-dots) with a circularly polarized fluorescence (CPF) property have attracted tremendous attention due to their significant applications in chiral optoelectronics and theranostics. However, constructing circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescent (CPRTP) C-dots remains a great challenge. Herein, a strategy is established to achieve efficient CPF and CPRTP emissions in C-dots/chiral helical polymer bilayer composite film. Taking advantage of the chiral filter effect of chiral helical polymer, intense CPF and CPRTP emissions with large dissymmetric factors up to 1.4 × 10-1 and 1.2 × 10-2 are respectively obtained, even though there is only a simple interface contact between the C-dots layer and the chiral helical polymer layer. More importantly, white-color CPF emission and multiple information display and encryption are further realized based on the prepared chiral luminescent composite films.

Abstract
We demonstrate herein a bottom-up strategy for achieving helical crystals via chiral amplification in copolyesters by incorporating a small amount of (d)-isosorbide into semicrystalline polyester, poly(ethylene brassylate) (PEB). During bulk crystallization of poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide brassylate)s, the molecular chirality of isosorbide in the amorphous region is transferred to PEB crystal chirality and amplified by the formation of right-handed helical crystals. Increasing isosorbide content or reducing crystallization temperature leads to thinner PEB lamellae crystals, strengthening chiral amplification by forming superhelices with a smaller helical pitch. Moreover, the superhelices with smaller helical pitch (larger chiral amplification) endow aliphatic copolyesters with enhanced modulus, strength, and toughness without sacrificing elongation-at-break. The principle outlined here could apply to the design of strong and tough materials.

Abstract
Inspired by biological helices (e.g., DNA), artificial helical polymers have attracted intense attention. However, precise synthesis of one-handed helices from achiral materials remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a series of achiral poly(biphenyl allene)s with controlled molar mass and low dispersity were prepared and induced into one-handed helices using chiral amines and alcohols. The induced one-handed helix was simultaneously memorized, even after the chiral inducer was removed. The switchable induction processes were visible to naked eye; the achiral polymers exhibited blue emission (irradiated at 365 nm), whereas the induced one-handed helices exhibited cyan emission with clear circularly polarized luminescence. The induced helices formed stable gels in various solvents with helicity discrimination ability: the same-handed helix gels were self-healing, whereas the gels of opposite-handed helicity were self-sorted. Moreover, the induced helices could separate enantiomers via enantioselective crystallization with high efficiency and switchable enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Preparation of chiral materials from achiral helical polymers has aroused great interest among researchers. In this work, chiral small molecules were utilized to accomplish chiral induction toward racemic helical polyacetylene via intermolecular π-π stacking by which chiral films with strong optical activity were fabricated. Furthermore, introducing fluorescent components generated full-color and white circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). A CPL generation mechanism is proposed accordingly, namely circularly polarized light excitation (CP-Ex). CPL emission and amplification of the luminescence dissymmetry factor were achieved under the synergetic effect of CP-Ex and chirality transfer. The CP-Ex mechanism was further verified by the double-layered film consisting of a chiral layer and a fluorescent layer. More noticeably, for double-layered films, the sense of CPL signals can be switched by changing the direction of excitation light. This work opens up new strategies for exploring tunable multiple- and white-color CPL materials.

Abstract
Immobilizing organocatalyst onto helical polymers not only facilitates the catalyst recycling from homogeneous reactions, but also boosts enantioselectivity. In this work, achiral organoiodine-functionalized single left- and right-handed helical polyisocyanides were prepared from the same monomers, which catalyzed three asymmetric oxidations gave the desired products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivity. The enantiomeric excess of the target products was up to 95%. Remarkably, the enantioselectivity can be switched by reversing the helicity of the polymer backbone. The polymer catalysts can be facilely recovered and recycled in different asymmetric oxidations with maintained excellent activity and enantioselectivity.

Ultra-fast One-Handed Helix Induction and Its Static Helicity Memory in a Poly(biphenylylacetylene) with a Catalytic Amount of Chiral Ammonium Salts. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202217020. [PMID: 36718497 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202217020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
We report an ultra-fast helix induction and subsequent static helicity memory in poly(biphenylylacetylene) (PBPA-A) assisted by a catalytic amount of nonracemic ammonium salts comprised of non-coordinating tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate (BArF- ) as a counter anion. The remarkable acceleration of the helix-induction rate in PBPA-A accompanied by the significant amplification of the asymmetry relies on the two methoxymethoxy groups of the biphenyl pendants, which can gain access to enfold the chiral ammoniums in a crown-ether manner in specific aromatic solvents, leading to ultra-fast helicity induction, which is completed within 30 s. In aromatic solvents, helicity memory is lost rapidly, but is quite stable in long-chain hydrocarbons. The best use of specific solvents for helicity induction and static helicity memory, respectively, provides a highly sensitive chirality sensing system toward a small amount of chiral amines and amino acids when complexed with BArF- .

Abstract
Regulation of self-assembly is crucial in constructing structural biomaterials, such as tunable DNA nanostructures. Traditional tuning of self-assembled DNA nanostructures was mainly conducted by introducing external stimuli after the assembly process. Here, we explored the allosteric assembly of DNA structures via introducing external stimuli during the assembly process to produce structurally heterogeneous polymerization products. We demonstrated that ethidium bromide (EB), a DNA intercalator, could increase the left-handed out-of-plane chirality of curved DNA structures. Then, EB and double strands were introduced as competing stimuli to transform monomers into allosteric conformations, leading to three different polymerization products. The steric trap between different polymerization products promoted the polymerized structures to keep their geometric properties, like chirality, under varying intensity of external stimuli. Our strategy harnesses allosteric effects for assembly of DNA-based materials and is expected to expand the design space for advanced control in synthetic materials.

Abstract
Isocyanides are well-known as efficient CO surrogates and C1 synthons in modern organic synthesis. Although tremendous efforts have been devoted to fully exploiting the reactivity of isocyanides, these transformations are primarily limited by their utilization of stoichiometric toxic chemical oxidants. With the recent resurgence of organic electrochemistry, which has considerably laid dormant over the past several decades, electrolysis has been identified as a green and powerful tool to enrich structural diversity by solely utilizing electric current as clean and inherently safe redox equivalents of stoichiometric chemical oxidants. In this regard, the unique reactivity of isocyanides has been studied in numerous electrochemical transformations. This review comprehensively highlights the most relevant progress in electrochemical strategies towards the functionalization of isocyanides up until June of 2022, with a focus on reaction outcomes and mechanisms.

Abstract
Micro/nanoparticles with surface microstructures have attracted tremendous attention due to their fascinating structures and properties. Herein, we present the first strategy for producing optically active polymer particles with varying surface microstructures via a template surface modification process in which achiral particles act as the template and helical substituted polyacetylene acts as the chiral component. To prepare the designed chiral-functionalized particles, template particles were first reacted with propargylamine to produce alkynylated template particles. The alkynylated templates further participated in the polymerization of chiral alkyne monomers through a surface grafting precipitation polymerization approach, resulting in achiral particles with surface microstructures covalently bonded with a chiral helical polymer. SEM images ascertain the production of chiral-functionalized particles showing various shapes (jar-like, golf ball-like, and raspberry-like particles). Furthermore, CD and UV-vis absorption spectra demonstrate that the grafted polyacetylene chains adopt a predominantly single-handed helical conformation, thereby affording composite particles with optical activity. Using the established protocol, numerous advanced chiral-functionalized micro/nanostructures are expected to be designed and constructed.

Abstract
The detection of circularly polarized light (CPL) has aroused wide attention from both the scientific and industrial communities. However, from the optical activity of the chiral layer in the conventional CPL photodetectors, the sign inversion property is difficult to be achieved. As a result, great challenges arise during the preparation of miniaturized and integrated devices for tunable CPL detection applications. Along these lines, in this work, by taking advantage of the CPL-induced chirality characteristics of the achiral poly(9,9-di-n-hexylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) (F6BT) and the good crystalline and electrical properties of the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) film, an optically programmable CPL photodetector was fabricated. Interestingly, the device exhibited excellent discrimination between left- and right-handed CPL, while the maximum anisotropy factor of responsivity was 0.425. On top of that, the rigorously controlled chirality of the F6BT and the capability to be switched by the handedness of CPL was leveraged to realize the switchable detection of both L-CPL and R-CPL. Furthermore, a CPL photodetector array was fabricated, and the image processing and cryptographic characteristics were demonstrated. The proposed device configuration can find application in various scientific fields, including photonics, emission, conversion, or sensing with CPL but also is anticipated to play a key role for imaging and anticounterfeiting applications.

Abstract
Poly(4-((3-methacrylamidopropyl)dimethylammonium)butane-1-sulfonate) (PSBP) was prepared via controlled radical polymerization. PSBP showed upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in aqueous solutions, which could be controlled by adjusting the polymer and NaCl concentrations. Owing to its pendant sulfonate anions, PSBP exhibited a negative zeta potential of −7.99 mV and formed a water-soluble ion complex with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) via attractive electrostatic interaction. A neutral PSBP/CTAB complex was formed under equimolar concentrations of the pendant sulfonate group in PSBP and the quaternary ammonium group in CTAB. Transmittance electron microscopic images revealed the spherical shape of the complex. The stoichiometrically neutral-charge PSBP/CTAB complex exhibited UCST behavior in aqueous solutions. Similar to PSBP, the phase transition temperature of the PSBP/CTAB complex could be tuned by modifying the polymer and NaCl concentrations. In 0.1 M aqueous solution, the PSBP/CTAB complex showed UCST behavior at a low complex concentration of 0.084 g/L, whereas PSBP did not exhibit UCST behavior at concentrations below 1.0 g/L. This observation suggests that the interaction between PSBP and CTAB in the complex was stronger than the interpolymer interaction of PSBP.

Abstract
Palladium nanosheets (Pd NSs) are well-investigated photothermal therapy agents, but their catalytic potential for tumor therapy has been underexplored owing to the inactive dominant (111) facets. Herein, lattice tensile strain is introduced by surface reconstruction to activate the inert surface, endowing the strained Pd NSs (SPd NSs) with photodynamic, catalase-like, and peroxidase-like properties. Tensile strain promoting the photodynamic and enzyme-like activities is revealed by density functional theory calculations. Compared with Pd NSs, SPd NSs exhibit lower photothermal effect, but approximately five times higher tumor inhibition rate. This work calls for further study to activate nanomaterials by strain engineering and surface reconstruction for catalytic therapy of tumors.

Abstract
In this work, helical polycarbenes with optical activity were designed and facilely synthesized through the helix-sense-selective polymerization (HSSP) of the diazoacetate monomer with a dimethylbenzyl ester pendant catalyzed by π-allylPdCl with chiral phosphine ligands at room temperature. The polymerization was carried out in a living and controlled style, and a range of helical polycarbenes with the desired number-average molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions were obtained. Circular dichroism and UV-vis analyses revealed that these polycarbenes exhibited a stable helical conformation with a preferred handedness, and their helical directions were dependent on the chirality of the chiral phosphine ligands. Further studies showed that the helical conformation of the obtained polycarbenes was from the polymeric backbone rather than the intermolecular aggregation in the solutions. Moreover, the prepared, optically active, helical polycarbenes possessed excellent enantioselective crystallization ability for threonine racemates. The enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of the induced crystals could be up to 83% via utilizing the prepared helical polycarbenes as a chiral separation agent.

Abstract
![]()
A dynamically
racemic helical copolymer composed of an achiral
biphenylylacetylene (BPA) bearing methoxymethoxy groups at the 2,2′-positions
and 1 mol % of an achiral BPA carrying 2-carboxy-2′-methoxymethoxy
groups at the biphenyl pendants was found to fold into an excess one-handed
helix with significant amplification of the helicity in the presence
of a small amount of optically active amines. The induced macromolecular
helicity was retained (“memorized”) after removal of
the chiral amines. The copolymer had a significant sensitivity for
detecting the chirality of chiral amines with a sensitivity more than
10000-fold higher than that of the corresponding homopolymers with
no carboxy group, thus showing Cotton effects even in the presence
of a 0.01 equiv of an optically active amine. The effects of the substituents
at the 4′-position of the biphenyl pendants of the copolymers
and the structures of the chiral amines on the macromolecular helicity
induction were also investigated.

Abstract
A substantially improved method for living polymerization of N-propargylamides and their derivatives has been developed. Rhodium(I) complexes bearing an aryl-substituted 1,3,5-hexatriene chain can work as excellent initiators of the polymerization of such non-conjugated terminal alkynes to give the corresponding cis-stereoregular polymers having a narrow molecular weight distribution. The typical living nature has been confirmed by investigating the effects of initial feed ratios of the monomer to the initiator on the molecular weight of the resulting polymers as well as multistage polymerization. Moreover, we demonstrated that the present method enables functionalization of both polymer chain ends and synthesis of novel block copolymers consisting of poly(N-propargylamide) and poly(phenylacetylene) blocks with a narrow molecular weight distribution.

Abstract
We report a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular miktoarm star polymer containing three distinct helical arms. Our design involves two helical poly(methacrylamide) arms connected by a barbituric acid (Ba) at the center, prepared through the reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization with a bifunctional agent. Together with a telechelic helical poly(isocyanide) end-functionalized with a Hamilton Wedge (HW) that is complementary to Ba, the two components assemble into an AB2-type star copolymer. The assembly is driven by the hydrogen bonding between HW and Ba, which is quantified by 1H NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry. Gel-permeation chromatography provides evidence for the formation of the desired miktoarm star architecture. This strategy of site-specific functionalization on helical polymers provides a modular approach to preparing nonlinear supramolecular ensembles with topologically diverse building blocks.

Abstract
A novel class of polymers and oligomers of chiral folding chirality has been designed and synthesized, showing structurally compacted triple-column/multiple-layer frameworks. Both uniformed and differentiated aromatic chromophoric units were successfully constructed between naphthyl piers of this framework. Screening monomers, catalysts, and catalytic systems led to the success of asymmetric catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura polycouplings. Enantio- and diastereochemistry were unambiguously determined by X-ray structural analysis and concurrently by comparison with a similar asymmetric induction by the same catalyst in the asymmetric synthesis of a chiral three-layered product. The resulting chiral polymers exhibit intense fluorescence activity in a solid form and solution under specific wavelength irradiation.
