RT Journal Article T1 From Sergeants and Soldiers to Chiral Conflict Effects in Helical Polymers by Acting on the Conformational Composition of the Comonomers A1 Freire Iribarne, Félix Manuel A1 Cobos Cabrera, Scarlet Katherine A1 Rodríguez Riego, Rafael A1 Quiñoá Cabana, Emilio A1 Riguera Vega, Ricardo K1 Chiral Communication K1 Poly(phenylacetylene) K1 Sergeants and Soldiers K1 Chiral Coalition K1 Chiral Conflict AB Different communication mechanisms can be switched within a copolymer by acting on the conformational composition of the components and their chirality. Thus, a Sergeant and Soldiers effect is produced in two diastereomeric copolymer series —poly[( S )‐ 1 r ‐ co ‐( S )‐ 2 ( 1‐r ) ] and poly[( R )‐ 1 r ‐ co ‐( S )‐ 2 ( 1‐r ) ]— due to the presence in chloroform of a preferred conformation in ( S )‐ 2 , and a conformational equilibrium in 1 , where a P helix is induced independently of the absolute configuration of the Soldier. In THF, the presence of a conformational equilibrium at the pendants of the two components produces a reciprocal chiral enhancement effect by copolymerization of the two monomers, while in DMF, a third chiral to chiral communication switch is produced due to the presence of a single conformer at the pendant group of the two components. In such case, a Chiral Conflict or Chiral Accord effect is produced depending if the two components induce the same or the opposite helical sense PB Wiley SN 1433-7851 YR 2020 FD 2020 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/23376 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/23376 LA eng NO Freire, F., Cobos, K., Rodríguez, R., Quiñoá, E. and Riguera, R.
