A pair of enantiomericcis-poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) substituted at themeta-positions of pendant phenyl rings by an achiral methoxycarbonyl group and a chiral 1-methylpropyloxycarbonyl group (i.e.,sP-Me-C4/rP-Me-C4) as well as twocis-PPAs bearing either just a methoxycarbonyl (i.e.,m-aP-Me) or a 1-methylpropyloxycarbonyl (i.e.,m-sP-C4) meta substituent were synthesized under the catalysis of [Rh(nbd)Cl]2(nbd = norbornadiene). Various techniques including1H NMR, FTIR, Raman, UV–vis, CD, DSC, STM, DLS/SLS, and computer calculation were applied to characterize the helical structures of these polymers in both solution and solid states.sP-Me-C4/rP-Me-C4adopted contractedcis-cisoidhelical conformations in THF, toluene, CH2Cl2, and ClCH2CH2Cl butcis-transoidones in CHCl3and Cl2CHCHCl2. Thecis-cisoidhelices were considered to be stabilized by the existence of six n → π* interaction bands along the polyene backbones between vicinal carbonyl groups. Such interactions were insensitive to the dielectric constant and polarity of solvent but sensitive to the hydrogen bond donating ability of solvent and temperature. In hydrogen bond accepting solvent, thecis-cisoidhelical structures were thermal stable, whereas thecis-cisoidtocis-transoidhelix transition could be triggered by raising temperature in the hydrogen bond donating solvent. The stronger the hydrogen bondings between solvent molecules and carbonyl groups, the lower the temperature required to maintaincis-cisoidhelix. Moreover, thecis-cisoidhelices stabilized by intramolecular n → π* interactions had better tolerance to the polarity of solvent and faster recovery than those stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. No matter whether methoxycarbonyl or 1-methylpropyloxycarbonyl group was removed, only acis-transoidhelix was observed, implying the weak nature of n → π* interaction and the need for a delicate macromolecular design. This work provided an unusual strategy to buildcis-cisoidPPAs.
