Abstract

The difference between the polyisocyanates and the isotactic vinyl polymers studies in Italy is the stability of the helical conformation which is well indicated by the great difference in the dimensional properties of these two macromolecules. The large persistence length of the polyisocyanates is correlated with the small population of helical reversals and therefore to the large chiral amplification.
