Preparation of chiral poly(dipyridylamine). Its metal complex-controlled steric structure, and its light emitting properties
A new type of polyaniline, poly(dipyridylamine), with a coordination site and a chiral side chain was prepared. The polymer formed polymer-metal complexes, and steric structure of the polymer-metal complex was controlled by the kind of the coordinating metal species, as revealed by remarkable changes of the CD spectrum caused by coordination with the metal.
