| Research Abstract |
Helical polymers with a large cavity formed by the folding of linear polymers, foldamer, are an interesting class of helical molecules because one-handed helical foldamers have a characteristic asymmetric cavity and groove that can recognize and accommodate chiral/achiral guest molecules. Therefore, controlling the structure of these helical foldamers is of significance. In our studies on, we found that a rotaxane switch is useful in controlling the reversible helicity of polymers via through-space chirality transfer. Switchable pendant rotaxane-tethering poly(m-phenylene diethynylene) induced a one-handed coil-shape helix only when the optically active wheel approaches the main chain. Control of the distance between the optically active group and the main chain by the rotaxane switch is crucially important for the transfer of chiral information. We demonstrated the rotaxane switch protocol to the reversible control of a helix-random coil transition of poly(m-phenylenediethynylene).
