Through regioselective modifications, some acylated chitosan derivatives, O-cinnamoyl chitosans with degree of substitution (DS) varying from 0.8 to 2.0 and N-fatty acyl-O-dicinnamoyl chitosans with different fatty acyl chain lengths (C2–C12), were prepared, and their chiroptical properties in dilute solutions were investigated by circular dichroism (CD). Exciton coupling between two vicinal cinnamoyl chromophores appended to the helical mainchains gave rise to bisignate Cotton effects (CEs), which were used to deduce the absolute sense of the twisting structures in solution phase. It was found that the absolute helicities vary with DS, length of the fatty chain, and solvent property, but are nearly independent of thermal stimulus. The molecular interactions (hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction) involved possibly in the self-assembled ordered structures were discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
