Abstract

Structural and retrostructural analysis of helical dendronized polyacetylenes (ie, self- organizable polyacetylenes containing first generation dendrons or minidendrons as side groups) synthesized by the polymerization of minidendritic acetylenes with [Rh (nbd) Cl] 2 (nbd= 2, 5-norbornadiene) reveals an~ 10% change in the average column stratum thickness (l) of the cylindrical macromolecules with a chiral periphery, through which a ...
