    • It is necessary to observe the measured laser Raman spectra of the solid poly(phenylacetylene) samples because they may deteriorate or isomerize from the cis to trans form in the presence of a strong laser light; in addition, the S/N ratio becomes worse due to the fluorescence when the exposure time is too long.

    • One may expect that the helicity induction in the gels may lead to deswelling of the gels, because the end-to-end distance of a polymer chain between cross-linking points seems to decrease by helix formation with chiral amines in DMSO. However, recent viscometric studies on a conformational change of poly((4-carboxyphenyl)acetylene) (poly-1-H) in DMSO before and after complexation with an optically active amine (-9) indicate that poly-1-H behaves as a weak polyelectrolyte in the presence of the amine; the poly-1-H-(R)-9 complex partly dissociates into carboxylate and ammonium ions. This feature might cause swelling of the gels because of repulsive electrostatic interactions between the carboxylate ions. Another important result obtained from the viscometric study is that the chain stiffness parameter (the persistent length) of poly-1-H in DMSO becomes longer in the presence of the chiral amine, from 4.2 nm in pure DMSO to 8.6 nm in DMSO with (R)-9. This means that the polymer becomes stiff, but the change in the poly-1-H conformation upon complexation with the amine is not as drastic as the coil to helix transition of polypeptides (Sato, T.; Ashida, Y.; Morino, K.; Maeda, K.; Okamoto, Y.; Yashima, E., unpublished results). On the basis of these results, we think that the helicity induction may not lead to a drastic change of the swelling ratio of the gels, but the formation of carboxylate ions may be responsible for the swelling behavior of the gels in the presence of chiral amines. However, it is not clear at present why the less bulky amino alcohol (8) and primary amines (9-11) prevent swelling or caused shrinking of the gels in DMSO.

    • note
    • When achiral amines, for instance, 2-aminoethanol and n-butylamine, were added to the optically active gels in DMSO induced by -5, the gels shrunk and became turbid, so that the CD measurements of the gels were difficult. We believe that an appropriate combination of chiral and achiral amines should make it possible to memorize the induced helicity in the gels.
