“…At a certain temperature above the glass‐transition temperature, the molar ellipticity of a film drastically decreases, whereas the molar ellipticity in solution does not. Recently, we reported that a single enantiomer of a side‐chain liquid‐crystalline polyketone forms a chiral nematic phase, and this might be attributed to a helical structure of the main chain 49…”

“…In particular, there are few studies on the relationship between the backbone tacticity and liquid crystallinity 6–12. We previously reported the thermal properties of side‐chain liquid‐crystalline polyketones 3 – 5 , which were synthesized by the Pd‐catalyzed alternating copolymerization of 4‐cyano‐4′‐(7‐octenyl‐1‐oxy)biphenyl ( 2 ) with carbon monoxide (CO; Scheme ) 13. A significant influence of the backbone structure was observed: the higher stereoregularity of the backbone increased the stability of the crystalline phase, and the liquid‐crystalline phase of isotactic polyketone 3 was endowed with chirality because of the chirotopic center in the backbone.…”
Lowering the ketone: Ru(II) complexes containing a chiral pyridyl-based 1H-pyrazolyl-oxazolinyl NNN ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallographic studies. These complex catalysts efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, reaching up to 99 % ee for the desired products.
“…A larger population of spiroketal structures was reported for polyketones bearing fluorine atoms in the side chain [49,50,61]. A single enantiomer of a side-chain, liquid-crystalline polyketone forms a chiral nematic phase, and this might be attributed to a helical structure of the main chain [62]. In a solid amorphous state, a helical structure has been suggested below the glass-transition temperature for an optically active methylstyrene/1-decene/CO terpolymer [44].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
