Synthesis and Functions of Biomimetic Helical Polymers and Oligomers

Synthesis and Functions of Biomimetic Helical Polymers and Oligomers

Yashima, Eiji

Abstract:

Unique macromolecules and oligomers that fold into a preferred-handed single- or double-stranded helical conformation induced by chiral substituents covalently bonded to the main-chains or external chiral stimuli followed by memory of the helical chirality are presented. The direct observations of helical structures of artificial helical polymers by atomic force microscopy (AFM) will be also presented. A series of double helices composed of different components and sequences that exhibit specific functions, such as chirality sensing, chiral recognition, enantioselective asymmetric catalysis, and anisotropic spring-like motion are also described.
