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
Biological systems have evolved a number of different strategies to communicate information on the molecular scale. Among these, the propagation of conformational change is among the most important, being the means by which G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) use extracellular signals to modulate intracellular processes, and the way that opsin proteins translate light signals into nerve impulses. The developing field of foldamer chemistry has allowed chemists to employ conformationally well-defined synthetic structures likewise to mediate information transfer, making use of mechanisms that are not found in biological contexts. In this review, we discuss the use of switchable screw-sense preference as a communication mechanism. We discuss the requirements for functional communication devices, and show how dynamic helical foldamers derived from the achiral monomers such as α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and meso-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine fulfil them by communicating information in the form of switchable screw-sense preference. We describe the various stimuli that can be used to switch screw sense, and explore the way that propagation of the resulting conformational preference in a well-defined helical molecule allows screw sense to control chemical events remote from a source of information. We describe the operation of these conformational switches in the membrane phase, and outline the progress that has been made towards using conformational switching to communicate between the exterior and interior of a phospholipid vesicle.

Abstract
Chirality of host molecules can be induced and/or inverted by the guest molecules. However, the adapting chirality of hosts to the length of n-alkanes remains a great challenge because n-alkanes are neutral, achiral, and linear molecules, resulting in a weak interaction with most compounds. Herein, we report a system with chirality adapted to n-alkane lengths, using a pillar[5]arene-based macrocyclic host, S-Br, which contains five stereogenic carbons and five terminal bromine atoms on each rim. The electron-rich cavity of S-Br could include n-alkanes and the planar-chiral isomers sensitively inverted in response to the lengths of the complexed n-alkanes. The inclusion of a short n-alkane such as n-pentane made S-Br more inclined to be in the pS-form, whereas the inclusion of long n-alkanes such as n-heptane made the pR-form more favorable. The difference in the stability of the isomers was supported by the crystal structures and the theoretical calculations. Furthermore, temperature drives the adaptive chirality of S-Br with n-alkanes. An n-alkane with middle length, n-hexane, showed the dominance of the pR-form of S-Br at a higher temperature, whereas the pS-form was shown at a lower temperature.

Abstract
We report dual-stimuli, thermo- and photostimuli, responsive chiral assemblies, of planar-chiral pillar[5]arenes with azobenzene groups on their rims. The azobenzene-substituted planar-chiral pillar[5]arenes were synthesized by copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition "click" reaction of azide-substituted planar-chiral pillar[5]arenes containing S or R stereogenic carbon atoms with an alkyne-substituted azobenzene. These decaazides with stereogenic carbons could act as starting points for a large library of planar-chiral pillar[5]arenes. Homeotropic alignment of azobenzenes, caused by the mesogenic property of the azobenzene groups, was induced by annealing a film of the azobenzene-substituted planar-chiral pillar[5]arenes. The alignment resulted in chiral propagation from the planar-chiral pillar[5]arene cores to the azobenzene area and caused significant chiral amplification consequently. These aligned chiral assemblies were collapsed by trans to cis photoisomerization of the azobenzene groups, resulting in chiral amplification off, and reconstructed by cis to trans thermo-isomerization, again turning on the chiral amplification.

Abstract
A curious question is whether two types of chiroptical amplifications, called sergeants-and-soldiers (Ser-Sol) and majority-rule (Maj) effects, between non-charged helical copolymers and non-charged, non-helical homopolymers occur when copolymer encounter homopolymer in co-colloids. To address these topics, the present study chose (i) two helical polysilane copolymers (HCPSs) carrying (S)- or (R)-2-methylbutyl with isobutyl groups as chiral/achiral co-pendants (type I) and (S)- and (R)-2-methylbutyl groups as chiral/chiral co-pendants (type II) and (ii) two blue luminescent π-conjugated polymers, poly[(dioctylfluorene)-alt-(trans-vinylene)] (PFV8) and poly(dioctylfluorene) (PF8). Analyses of circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectral datasets of the co-colloids indicated noticeable, chiroptical inversion in the Ser-Sol effect of PFV8/PF8 with type I HCPS. PF8 with type IIHCPS showed the anomalous Maj rule with chiroptical inversion though PFV8 with type IIHCPS was the normal Maj effect. The noticeable non-mirror-symmetric CD-and-CPL characteristics and marked differences in hydrodynamic sizes of these colloids were assumed to originate from non-mirror-symmetrical main-chain stiffness of HCPSs in dilute toluene solution. The present chirality/helicity transfer experiments alongside of previous/recent publications reported by other workers and us allowed to raise the fundamental question; is mirror symmetry on macroscopic levels in the ground and photoexcited states rigorously conserved?

Abstract
By enchaining a small fraction of chiral monomer units, the helical sense of a dynamic polymer constructed from achiral monomer units can be disproportionately biased. This phenomenon, known as the sergeants-and-soldiers (S&S) effect, has been found to be widely applicable to dynamic covalent and supramolecular polymers. However, it has not been exemplified with a supramolecular polymer that features multiple helical states. Herein, we demonstrate the S&S effect in the context of the temperature-controlled supramolecular copolymerization of chiral and achiral biphenyl tetracarboxamides in alkanes. The one-dimensional helical structures presented in this study are unique because they exhibit three distinct helical states, two of which are triggered by coassembling with monomeric water that is codissolved in the solvent. The self-assembly pathways are rationalized using a combination of mathematical fitting and simulations with a thermodynamic mass-balance model. We observe an unprecedented case of an "abnormal" S&S effect by changing the side chains of the achiral soldier. Although the molecular structure of these aggregates remains elusive, the coassembly of water is found to have a profound impact on the helical excess.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of one-dimensional supramolecular polymers composed of one-handed helical macromolecules bearing fluorescent pendant groups and the generation of circularly polarized light on the basis of hierarchical chiral amplification starting from a tiny amount of chiral substituent. Copolymerization of benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-appended achiral/chiral isocyanides (99:1, mol/mol) with a solid-state photoluminescence feature afforded submicrometer supramolecular fibers, in which almost perfect single-handed helical polyisocyanides were noncovalently connected end to end. The resulting helical supramolecular polymers were further helically assembled to form a cholesteric liquid crystal film with an intense circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signal. Surprisingly, the supramolecular system containing only 0.01 mol % of the chiral monomer unit also emitted the observable circularly polarized light owing to multiple chiral amplification from an infinitesimal point chirality to helical chirality and then to supramolecular chirality. Furthermore, chiral information was efficiently transferred from the helically assembled supramolecular system containing 1 mol % of the chiral unit to achiral dye molecules blended in the film, allowing full-color tunable induced CPL with luminescence dissymmetry factors greater than 1.0 × 10-2. This unprecedentedly strong chiral amplification enables the creation of helical supramolecular polymers and chirally assembled systems with various chiral functions based solely on an infinitesimal chiral source.

Abstract
Living systems achieve sophisticated functions using supramolecular protein assemblies, in which the protein building blocks possess a specific secondary structure and are noncovalently arranged in a preprogrammed manner. Herein, we demonstrate the one-step synthesis of one-dimensional macromolecular assemblies by simply mixing a glycine-based isocyanide with a nickel catalyst, in which helical constituent polymers are linked end-to-end through multiple hydrogen bonds. The applicable scope of this approach is not confined to a particular monomer bearing a specially designed pendant, but covers a wide range of glycine-based isocyanides with or without aromatic and other functional groups. Surprisingly, copolymerization with an analogous chiral isocyanide (1 mol %) afforded an almost perfect one-handed helical supramolecular fiber owing to intramolecular/intermolecular dual chiral amplifications. The simplicity and broad applicability of this approach, which can also afford exquisite chiral amplification, enable the creation of a wide variety of functional supramolecular assemblies and provide access to new supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Facile and efficient construction of the helical structure with diverse and tunable chiral amplification from an achiral polymer is attractive but remains a challenge to develop multiple functional materials. We report herein a macromolecular acid-base complex of highly isotactic poly(2-vinylpyridine) (mmmm > 99%), (+)-camphorsulfonic acid, and dodecylbenzensulfonic acid. The asymmetric induction of the chiral additive through the ionic interactions between pyridinium pendants and acid ions drives the polymer backbone to twist in a preferred direction in CHCl3 and its mixture with CH3CN. The sign and intensity of induced circular dichroism rely on the base to acid ratio, the chiral acid content, and the solvent nature. By systematically tuning the solvent composition, four distinct types of "sergeants-and-soldiers" mode chiral amplification are achieved for the first time within a single system owing to the solvent dependent bias of chiral-chiral and chiral-achiral ion pairs.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized divalent initiators that contain a fluorescent terquinoxaline unit with two palladium groups for the living polymerization of 1,2-diisocyanobenzenes. Using these divalent initiators, the bidirectional living polymerization of a monomer bearing (S)-butoxymethyl side chains afforded telechelic helical poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s (PQXs), which consist of a terquinoxaline unit at the center of the polymer chain and chiral oligomeric blocks on both sides. The location of the core unit was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements. Upon changing the solvent from CHCl3 to 1,1,2-trichloroethane, these PQXs exhibit both left- and right-handed circularly polarized luminescence with dissymmetry factors of approximately 1.0 × 10-3.
