RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Helix Induction Mechanisms in Poly(phenylacetylene)s bearing Oligopeptides as Pendants A1 Rivadulla Cendal, Elena K1 Helical Polymer K1 Screw Sense control K1 Elongation control K1 Multi-Chiral Pendants K1 Flexible Linkers AB The helix is one of the topological structures and it is inherently chiral;therefore, a large number of artificial helical polymers with controlled helicity have been synthesized, not only tomimic biological helices, but also to develop chiral materials with functionally. More specifically,poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPA)s are a family of dynamic helical polymers where the screw sense and/or elongationof the backbone can be modified by the action of different external stimuli such as pH, temperature or polarity of thesolvent. However, dynamic helical polymers bearing multi-chiral pendants in which the power of the chiral centerlocated at a remote position remains unexplored. This thesis is focused on the development of new synthetic chiralmaterials based on poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPA)s bearing multi-chiral pendant groups. Their structure, dynamicbehavior, chiral information transmission mechanisms and stimuli-responsive properties were studied, leading topromising new materials for the future rational design of novel smart materials with specific properties.
