Anodic polymerization of N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)amino acids towards chiral conducting polymers
The anodic oxidation of several fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-amino acids is described. Insoluble electroactive polymers with conservation of the methoxycarbonyl-amino acid unit on the polyfluorene backbone are obtained. The chiral discrimination of these materials towards pure enantiomers is presented.
