Titelbild: Chiral Supramolecular Multiblock Copolymerization Accompanying Chirality Transfer in Heterostructures via Living Chain Growth (Angew. Chem. 25/2023)

The copolymerization of kinetically trapped states of tetraphenylethylene containing glycine (TPE-G) and/or D-/L-alanine moieties leads to the formation of supramolecular multi-block copolymers, such as B-A-B, A-B-A-B-A, and C-B-A-B-C patterns (BCPs; tri- and penta-blocks) by a chain-growth process. The chirality of the supramolecular BCPs was not only successfully controlled by the chiral seed, but it also transferred to an achiral component during the chain-growth polymerization, as reported Sung Ho Jung, Jong Hwa Jung et al. in their Research Article (e202300913).
