A stereoregular poly(phenylacetylene) bearing the aza-18-crown-6 ether pendants (poly-1) was found to form a predominantly one-handed helix upon complexation with optically active C(alpha)-methylated alpha-amino acids and their amide derivatives including typical meteoritic C(alpha)-methylated alpha-amino acids such as C(alpha)-methyl norvaline and C(alpha)-methyl valine. The complexes exhibited an induced circular dichroism (ICD) in the UV-visible region of the polymer backbone. Therefore, poly-1 can be used as a novel probe for detection of the chirality of C(alpha)-methylated alpha-amino acids. The effect of the enantiomeric excess (ee) of C(alpha)-methylated alpha-amino acids on the helicity induction in poly-1 was also investigated.
