Chemical synthesis of optically active polyaniline in the presence of dextran sulfate as molecular template
One preferred handed helical structure was induced into the polyanilinc main chains by chemical polymerization of achiral aniline in the presence of dextran sulfate as a molecular template. and this affords a novel chemical route for synthesis of chiral conducting polymers.
