Abstract

Abstract: Many researches have been done on synthetic helical polymers because of their wide applications such as chiral recognition, enantiomeric separation, asymmetric catalysis, circularly polarized luminescence, liquid crystallization and so on. Synthetic helical polymers can be generally divided into static helical polymers and dynamic helical polymers on the basis of whether the helix inversion barriers are high or low. And this mini review mainly describes the three common selectively synthetic methods of static helical polymers such as polymerization with chiral monomers, helix‐sense‐selective polymerization and enantiomer‐selective polymerization. We hope that this mini review can provide more ideas on synthesis of chiral materials and encourage further development on novel synthetic methods of helical polymers. Abstract :
