49. A photostationary state (PSS) mixture of (2′S)-(M)- trans-2-PHIC and (2′S)-(P)-cis-2-PHIC is obtained. For 1 the PSS ratio was determined at (2′S)-(M) -trans-1/(2′S)-(P)-cis-1 = 21:79 (see the Supporting Information); for 2 a similar PSS mixture is anticipated.
50. Poly((R)-2,6-dimethylheptylisocyanate), which is known to exist as an M helix (see Ref. [8a]), has the opposite CD absorption (see Ref. [9]).
51. A mixture of (2′S)-(M)-trans-2-PHIC and (2′S)-(M)-cis-2-PHIC is obtained, the ratio of which is identical to that of the PSS mixture obtained after step 1.
52. A PSS mixture of (2′S)-(M)-cis-2-PHIC and (2′S)-(P)-trans-2-PHIC is obtained. For 1 the PSS ratio was determined at (2′S)-(M)-cis-1/ (2′S)-(P)-trans-1 = 21:79 (see the Supporting Information); for 2 a similar PSS mixture is anticipated.
53. Helix reversals will rarely occur along the relatively short polymer chains (in hydrocarbon solvents at 20°C, the population of helix reversals has been estimated at one per 600 monomelic units, see Ref. [8b]).
