Chirality in conjugated polymers: when two components meet

Abstract

Chirality is a well-studied feature in the auspicious class of conjugated polymers. Proper use allows us to study and to control the behavior of the polymers which make them very valuable in many applications. Mostly chiral homopolymers are considered, but what happens when the chirality originates from the interplay between multiple components? This review summarizes different approaches to implement multicomponent chirality in conjugated polymers and their properties.
