Abstract
Amphiphilic 2,6-pyridylene ethynylene "meta-ethynylpyridine" polymers having chiral oligo(oxyethylene) side chains were developed as hosts for saccharide recognition. The polymers were prepared via a Sonogashira reaction and fractionated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). They showed circular dichroism (CD) activity due to their higher-order chiral helical structures, and their CD and UV-vis spectra changed depending on not only saccharide recognition but also molecular size, temperature, and metal cation recognition.
