The chiral induction of polycarbodiimides through diastereomer formation

The cooperativity of polycarbodiimides was probed at several length scales. Each experiment relies on formation of a predominance of a single-handed helix due to diastereomer formation. Polymerization of N-(R)-2,6-dimethylheptyl-$N\sp\prime$-hexyl carbodiimide, 1 ( ($\alpha$) $\sb{365}$ = +7.6, c =...
