Abstract
Aromatic foldamers make up a novel class of bioinspired molecules that display helical conformations and have functions that rely on control over their coil-helix folding preferences. While the folding has been extensively examined by experiment, it has rarely been paired with the types of atomic level insights offered by theory. We present the results of all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to examine the role of solvent polarity on driving the helical folding behavior of the aryl-triazole foldamer. The temperature-dependent enhanced sampling technique, replica-exchange MD simulations, was employed to understand the folding phenomena. The simulation results show that in a low polarity solvent (dichloromethane), the foldamer prefers to stay in the unfolded state. The unfolded state has four dipolar triazoles (5 D) in their favored all-anti geometries and favoring anti-parallel geometries. However, an increase in solvent polarity using acetonitrile resulted in solvophobic collapse, yielding the helically folded form as the predominant state. The folded helix has an all-syn geometry, with triazoles in parallel arrangements. Intermediate conformations with a mixture of syn and anti arrangements of the triazoles are of lower abundance in both the DCM and MeCN solvents. The chiral handedness of the helix observed experimentally is assigned as left-handed by correlation with computed electronic circular dichroism spectra using time-dependent density functional theory.

Abstract
A series of optically active helical poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPA-Pro1, PPA-Pro3, PPA-Pro6, PPA-Pro9, and PPA-Pro12) bearing different chain lengths of L-proline oligopeptide in the side chains were obtained by polymerizing the corresponding novel phenylacetylene monomers. The monomer adopted a trans-rich helix structure when the L-proline oligopeptide chain length was longer, according to the optical activities and 2D-NMR analysis. The helical structure could be maintained and significantly influenced the polymers' helical conformation by introducing the L-proline oligopeptide to the pendants. By the way, the morphology of PPA-Pro3 was observed by atomic force microscope (AFM) on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), and the information on the helix direction, pitch, and chain arrangement was obtained. Also, the chiral separation properties of these polymer-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs) were investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The poly(phenylacetylene)s showed enhanced enantioseparation properties toward various racemates depending on the longer chain length of the L-proline oligopeptide in the pendants and the positive synergy between the helical backbone and helical side chains. Particularly, PPA-Pro9 showed comparable or even superior enantioseparation properties for racemates 2 and 9 to four commercial columns (Daicel Chiralpak or Chiralcel AD, AS, OD, and OT), indicating that these poly(phenylacetylene)-based CSPs have potential practical values. This work presented here provides inspiration for the further development of CSPs based on a new paradigm.

Abstract
Synthetic dynamic helical polymers (supramolecular and covalent) and foldamers share the helix as a structural motif. Although the materials are different, these systems also share many structural properties, such as helix induction or conformational communication mechanisms. The introduction of stimuli responsive building blocks or monomer repeating units in these materials triggers conformational or structural changes, due to the presence/absence of the external stimulus, which are transmitted to the helix resulting in different effects, such as assymetry amplification, helix inversion or even changes in the helical scaffold (elongation, J/H helical aggregates). In this review, we show through selected examples how different stimuli (e.g., temperature, solvents, cations, anions, redox, chiral additives, pH or light) can alter the helical structures of dynamic helical polymers (covalent and supramolecular) and foldamers acting on the conformational composition or molecular structure of their components, which is also transmitted to the macromolecular helical structure.

Abstract
Molecular switches, supramolecular chemistry, and polymers can be combined to create stimuli-responsive multichiral materials. Therefore, by acting on the extended/bent conformational composition of an achiral arm, it is possible to create a macromolecular gear, where different supramolecular interactions can be activated/deactivated to control the helical sense of a polymer containing up to five different chiral axial motifs. For this, a chiral allene with a flexible achiral arm was introduced as a pendant in poly(phenylacetylene). Through flexible arm control between extended and bent conformations, it is possible to selectively induce either a P or M helical sense in the polymer, while the relative spatial distribution of the substituents in the allene remains unaltered in two perpendicular planes (configurationally locked). These results show that complex dynamic multichiral materials can be obtained by the polymerization of appropriate monomers that combine chirality, switching properties, and the ability to generate chiral supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
There is much demand for crystalline covalent helical polymers. Inspired by the helical structure of collagen, we synthesized a covalent helical polymer wherein the repeating dipeptide Gly-Pro units are connected by triazole linkages. We synthesized an azide and alkyne-modified dipeptide monomer made up of the repeating amino acid sequence of collagen. In its crystals, the monomer molecules aligned in head-to-tail fashion with proximally placed azide and alkyne forming supramolecular helices. At 60 °C, the monomer underwent single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) topochemical azide-alkyne cycloaddition polymerization, yielding a covalent helical polymer as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis. Compared to the monomer crystals, the polymer single-crystals were very strong and showed three-fold increase in Young's modulus, which is higher than collagen, many synthetic polymers and other materials. The crystals of this covalent helical polymer could bear loads as high as 1.5 million times of their own weight without deformation. These crystals could also withstand high compression force and did not disintegrate even at an applied force of 98 kN. Such light-weight strong materials are in demand for various technological applications.

Abstract
A doubly-interlocked [2]catenane - or Solomon link - undergoes a complex conformational change upon addition of sulfate in methanol. This transformation generates a single pocket where two SO42- anions bind through multiple hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. Despite the close proximity of the two anions, binding is highly cooperative.

Abstract
Supramolecular and covalent polymers share multiple structural effects such as communication mechanisms among monomer repeating units, which are related to their axial helical structure. Herein, a unique multi-helical material combining information from both metallosupramolecular and covalent helical polymers is presented. In this system, the helical structure described by the poly(acetylene) (PA) backbone (cis-cisoidal, cis-transoidal) guides the pendant groups in a fashion where a tilting degree emerges between a pendant and the adjacent ones. As a result, a multi-chiral material is formed comprising four or five axial motifs when the polyene skeleton adopts either a cis-transoidal or cis-cisoidal configuration: the two coaxial helices-internal and external-and the two or three chiral axial motifs described by the bispyridyldichlorido PtII complex array. These results show that complex multi-chiral materials can be obtained by polymerizing appropriate monomers that combine both point chirality and the ability to generate chiral supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
AbstractThe helix reversal is a structural motif found in helical polymers in the solid state, but whose existence is elusive in solution. Herein, we have shown how the photochemical electrocyclization (PEC) of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) can be used to determine not only the presence of helix reversals in polymer solution, but also to estimate the screw sense excess. To perform these studies, we used a library of well folded PPAs and different copolymers series made by enantiomeric comonomers that show chiral conflict effect. The results obtained indicate that the PEC of a PPA will depend on the helical scaffold adopted by the PPA backbone and on its folding degree. Then, from these studies it is possible to determine the screw sense excess of a PPA, highly important in applications such as chiral stationary phases in HPLC or asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
Inspired by biological helices (e.g., DNA), artificial helical polymers have attracted intense attention. However, precise synthesis of one-handed helices from achiral materials remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a series of achiral poly(biphenyl allene)s with controlled molar mass and low dispersity were prepared and induced into one-handed helices using chiral amines and alcohols. The induced one-handed helix was simultaneously memorized, even after the chiral inducer was removed. The switchable induction processes were visible to naked eye; the achiral polymers exhibited blue emission (irradiated at 365 nm), whereas the induced one-handed helices exhibited cyan emission with clear circularly polarized luminescence. The induced helices formed stable gels in various solvents with helicity discrimination ability: the same-handed helix gels were self-healing, whereas the gels of opposite-handed helicity were self-sorted. Moreover, the induced helices could separate enantiomers via enantioselective crystallization with high efficiency and switchable enantioselectivity.

Abstract
Chiral information transmission in helical polymers bearing multi-chiral pendant groups is usually determined by the absolute configuration of the first chiral center. The second chiral residue usually has low-to-null influence in the macromolecular handedness of the polymer, due to its remote position respect to the polyene main chain. Here, we demonstrate how the stimuli responsive properties of diastereomeric polymers, obtained by changing the absolute configuration of the second chiral center, are different due to the unlike properties of diastereoisomers.

Abstract
Dynamic foldamers are synthetic folded molecules which can change their conformation in response to an external stimulus and are currently at the forefront of foldamer chemistry. However, constitutionally dynamic foldamers, which can change not only their conformation but also their molecular constitution in response to their environment, are without precedent. We now report a size- and shape-switching small dynamic covalent foldamer network which responds to changes in pH. Specifically, acidic conditions direct the oligomerization of a dipeptide-based building block into a 16-subunit macrocycle with well-defined conformation and with high selectivity. At higher pH the same building block yields another cyclic foldamer with a smaller ring size (9mer). The two foldamers readily and repeatedly interconvert upon adjustment of the pH of the solution. We have previously shown that addition of a template can direct oligomerization of the same building block to yet other rings sizes (including a 12mer and a 13mer, accompanied by a minor amount of 14mer). This brings the total number of discrete foldamers that can be accessed from a single building block to five. For a single building block system to exhibit such highly diverse structure space is unique and sets this system of foldamers apart from proteins. Furthermore, the emergence of constitutional dynamicity opens up new avenues to foldamers with adaptive behavior.

Abstract
The evolution of hierarchical chirality at macromolecular and supramolecular levels in biological systems is ubiquitous; however, achieving precise control over transitions between them in polymer systems is still challenging. Here, we reported multiple chiroptical transitions and inversion phenomena in side-chain azobenzene (Azo) polymers, PAzo-l/d-m (m = 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, where m is the total number of atoms from the chiral stereocenter to the Azo unit), with different distances from the chiral stereocenter to the Azo unit. In the case of m = 3, an unexpected macromolecular-to-supramolecular chirality transition and inversion occurred in situ when the Azo-polymer underwent from a macromolecular-dissolved state to a supramolecular-aggregated state. To our surprise, an exciton-coupling induced multiple chiroptical inversion was observed upon the heating-assisted reassembly treatment, which was demonstrated to be driven by H- to J-aggregation transition. Furthermore, the odd-even effect was first established to regulate the supramolecular helical orientations (left- or right-handedness) in side-chain Azo-polymer assemblies.

Abstract
In helical polymers, helical sense induction is usually commanded by teleinduction mechanism, where the largest substituent of the chiral residue directly attached to the main chain is the one that commands the helical sense. In this work, different helical structures with different helical senses are induced in a helical polymer [poly-(phenylacetylene)] when the conformational composition of two different dihedral angles of a pendant group with more than two chiral residues is tamed. Thus, while the dihedral angle at chiral residue 1 [(R)- or (S)-alanine], attached to the backbone, produces an extended or bent conformation in the pendant resulting in two scaffolds with different stretching degree, the second dihedral angle at chiral residue 2 [(R)- or (S)-methoxyphenylacetamide] places the substituents of this chiral center in a different spatial orientation, originating opposite helical senses at the polymer that are induced through a total control of the "chiral overpass effect".

Abstract
A helical copoly(phenylacetylene) that follows a dynamic chiral accord effect has been designed to further synthesize dynamic chiral nanocomposites. Its two pendants are benzamides of (L)-methionine methyl ester [(L)-1, 20%] and (L)-alanine methyl ester [(L)-2, 80%], the former being responsible for binding the copolymer to metallic nanoparticles (MNPs, M = Au, Ag) via the thioether. The two chiral comonomers have analogous dynamic behavior, and therefore, the copolymer-poly-[(L)-10.2-co-(L)-20.8]-adopts a preferred helical sense that can be amplified or inverted by stimuli acting simultaneously on both pendants. The formation of nanocomposites can be followed by different sequential chiroptical responses of the copolymer once the helical polymer metal-complexes are formed-M to P helix inversion by the formation of poly-[(L)-10.2-co-(L)-20.8]/Au3+ or poly-[(L)-10.2-co-(L)-20.8]/Ag+-and further reduction with NaBH4 to generate the corresponding nanocomposites-P to M helix inversion by the formation of poly-[(L)-10.2-co-(L)-20.8]-AuNPs (6 nm) and poly-[(L)-10.2-co-(L)-20.8]-AgNPs (5 nm). These nanocomposites exhibit the properties of both components, helix inversion in the PPA and a colorimetric response in the MNPs triggered by metal ions.

Abstract
Helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) are interesting materials due to the possibility of tuning their helical scaffold (sense and elongation) once they have been prepared and by the presence of external stimuli. The main limitation in the application of PPAs is their poor photostability. These polymers degrade under visible light exposure through a photochemical electrocyclization process. In this work, it was demonstrated, through a selected example, how the photochemical degradation in PPAs is directly related to their dynamic helical behavior. Thus, while PPAs with dynamic helical structures show poor photostability under UV/Vis light exposure, poly‐(R)‐1, bearing an enantiopure sulfoxide group as pendant group and designed to have a quasi‐static helical behavior, shows a large photostability due to the restricted conformational composition at the polyene backbone, needed to orient the conjugated double bonds prior to the photochemical electrocyclization process and the subsequent degradation of the material.

Abstract
Multichannel regulable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is fascinating because of its fundamental and application interest. There are few reports on helical sense (P-/M-helix) modulation and chiral signal amplification of polyacetylenes with the assistance of achiral polymers and further applications in precisely and conveniently regulating CPL handedness and magnitude. Herein, a helical poly(phenylacetylene)-based CPL-active system was constructed, in which CPL inversion occurred by adding achiral PMMA into a helical poly(phenylacetylene)-CHCl3 solution. Significantly, there is almost 10 times magnification of luminescence dissymmetry factor values (|glum|) during this process. The above phenomena could be ascribed to the PMMA-assisted polyene backbone elongation and the formation of a more ordered helical structure for the poly(phenylacetylene)s. More interestingly, the CPL signal can be facilely inverted and switched by simply changing the thickness of the PPhAD/PMMA layer. The temperature-driven dynamic CPL handedness inversion and magnitude modulation can also be achieved. Based on the multiple regulations for CPL, logic operations were developed, and the practical application is further facilitated by designing various CPL patterns. This study establishes effective and convenient strategies to switch the handedness, magnitude, and wavelength of CPL, which may generate a breakthrough in the manufacturing of CPL-active smart materials and devices with promising application potential.

Abstract
Polymers possessing helical conformation in the solid state are in high demand. We report a helical peptide-polymer via the topochemical ene-azide cycloaddition (TEAC) polymerization. The molecules of the designed Gly-Phe-based dipeptide, decorated with ene and azide, assemble in its crystals as β-sheets and as supramolecular helices in two mutually perpendicular directions. While the NH…O H-bonding facilitates β-sheet-like stacking along one direction, weak CH…N H-bonding between the azide-nitrogen and vinylic-hydrogen of molecules belonging to the adjacent stacks arranges them in a head-to-tail manner as supramolecular helices. In the crystal lattice, the azide and alkene of adjacent molecules in the supramolecular helix are suitably preorganized for their TEAC reaction. The dipeptide underwent regio- and stereospecific polymerization upon mild heating in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion, yielding a triazoline-linked helical covalent polymer that could be characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Upon heating, the triazoline-linked polymer undergoes denitrogenation to aziridine-linked polymer, as evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and solid-state NMR analyses.

Abstract
Chiral recognition is of importance not only in living systems but also in estimating the optical purity of enantiomeric drugs and fabricating advanced materials. Herein we report a novel self-reporting activated ester-amine reaction that can provide multi-channel visual detection of organic amines. It relies on the reaction extent dependent cis-transoid to cis-cisoid helical transition of the polyphenylacetylene backbone and the thus triggered fluorescence. Owing to the high selectivity, this visual process can recognize structurally diverse achiral amines and quantitatively check the impurity content. It also shows an outstanding enantioselectivity towards various chiral amines and can be applied to determine enantiomeric composition. The multiple responses in absorption, circular dichroism, photoluminescence, and circularly polarized luminescence make the helical transition of the polymer backbone a potential detection mode for high-throughput screening of chiral chemicals.

Abstract
Supramolecular and covalent polymers share multiple structural effects such as chiral amplification, helical inversion, sergeants and soldiers, or majority rules, among others. These features are related to the axial helical structure found in both types of materials, which are responsible for their properties. Herein a novel material combining information and characteristics from both fields of helical polymers, supramolecular (oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)) and covalent (poly(acetylene) (PA)), is presented. To achieve this goal, the poly(acetylene) must adopt a dihedral angle between conjugated double bonds (ω1) higher than 165°. In such cases, the tilting degree (Θ) between the OPE units used as pendant groups is close to 11°, like that observed in supramolecular helical arrays of these molecules. Polymerization of oligo[(p-phenyleneethynylene)n]phenylacetylene monomers (n = 1, 2) bearing L-decyl alaninate as the pendant group yielded the desired scaffolds. These polymers adopt a stretched and almost planar polyene helix, where the OPE units are arranged describing a helical structure. As a result, a novel multihelix material was prepared, the ECD spectra of which are dominated by the OPE axial array.

The helical sense control of dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is greatly affected when they are conjugated to AuNPs through a strong thiol-Au connection, which restricts conformational changes at the polymer. Thus, the classical thiol-MNP bonds must be replaced by weaker ones, such as supramolecular amide-Au interactions. A straightforward preparation of the PPA-Au nanocomposite by reduction of a preformed PPA-Au3+ complex cannot be used due to a redox reaction between the two components of the complex which degrades the polymer. To avoid the interaction between the PPA and the Au3+ ions before the reduction takes place, the metal ions are added to the polymer solution capped as a TOAB complex, which keeps the PPA stable due to the lack of PPA-Au3+ interactions. Ulterior reduction of the Au3+ ions by NaBH4 affords the desired nanocomposite, where the AuNPs are stabilized by supramolecular anilide-AuNPs interactions. By using this approach, 3.7 nm gold nanoparticles are generated and aligned along the polymer chain with a regular distance between particles of 6 nm that corresponds to two helical pitches. These nanocomposites show stimuli-responsive properties and are also able to form macroscopically chiral nanospheres with tunable size.

Abstract
Chirality is ubiquitous in nature with primary cellular functions that include construction of right-/left-handed helix and selective communications among diverse biomolecules. Of particularly intriguing are the chiral peptide-based materials that can be deliberately designed to change physicochemistry properties via tuning peptide sequences. Critically, understanding their chiral effects are fundamental for the development of novel materials in chemistry and biomedicine fields. Here, we review recent researches on chirality in peptide-based materials, summarizing relevant typical chiral effects towards recognition, amplification, and induction. Driven forces for the chiral discrimination in affinity interaction as well as the handedness preferences in supramolecular structure formation at both the macroscale and microscale are illustrated. The implementation of such chirality effects of artificial copolymers, assembled aggregates and their composites in the fields of bioseparation and bioenrichment, cell incubation, protein aggregation inhibitors, chiral smart gels, and bionic electro devices are also presented. At last, the challenges in these areas and possible directions are pointed out. The diversity of chiral roles in the origin of life and chirality design in different organic or composite systems as well as their applications in drug development and chirality detection in environmental protection are discussed.

Abstract
Allostery can regulate protein self-assembly which further affects biological activities, and achieving precise control over the chiral suprastructures during self-assembly remains challenging. Herein, to mimic the allosterical nature of proteins, the poly(phenylacetylene) block copolymers PPA-b-PsmNap with the dynamic helical backbone were synthesized to investigate their conformational-transition-induced self-assembly. As the helical conformation of the block PsmNap spontaneously transforms from cis-transiod to cis-cisoid, the decreasing solubility of PsmNap blocks in THF induced self-assembly of PPA-b-PsmNap. The self-assembly structures of copolymers can sequentially evolve from vesicles to nanobelts to helical strands during the process of conformation transformation. The screw sense of final helical strands was strictly correlated to the helicity of the block PsmNap. This is helpful to understand the mechanism of allostery-modulated self-assembly.

Abstract
Photochemical electrocyclization of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is used for the structural elucidation of a polyene backbone. This method not only allows classification of PPAs in cis-cisoidal (ω1 <90°) or cis-transoidal structures (ω1 >90°), but also approximating ω1 . A PPA solution is illuminated with visible light and monitoring the photochemical electrocyclization of the PPA helix by measuring the ECD spectra at different times. PPAs with a cis-cisoidal structure show a reduction of the ECD signal of at least 50 % before 30 min of irradiation, while cis-transoidal helices need much longer time because the transoidal bond must be isomerized. The different cis-cisoidal and cis-transoidal helices require different times to decrease their ECD signal by 50 % (t1/2 ), depending on the degree of compression or stretching of the helix, establishing a relationship between the secondary structure adopted by PPA (ω1 ) and the time required to lose the ECD vinylic signal by light irradiation.
