7. Stereoselective polymerization represents a particular case of propagation of stereochemical information. However, it differs from a stereoselective process because of the replicating nature of the transfer step. For leading references see: [4a] M. Farina, Top. Stereochem. 1987, 17, 1-111. - See also:

In polymer chemistry terminology, the stereoselective helicate formation described here can be defined as a syndiotactic process capable of control over the helical chirality.

29. This procedure was necessary to remove paramagnetic materials. Even if TLC analysis of the crude complexes showed the presence of single species, accidental diastereomeric enrichment cannot be ruled out.
30. Stereoselective helicate formation under the external influence of the chiral template seems unlikely.
