摘要 |
<p>The present invention generally describes novel chiral polyanilines in their doped (protonated) forms and novel methods for their chemical synthesis comprising polymerizing an aniline monomer in the presence of a chiral dopant acid, an oxidizing agent, and, optionally, a substrate, and their conversion by treatment with a base to novel chiral polyanilines in their de-doped base forms. The novel chiral polyanilines of the present invention may be used as electrodes for asymmetric synthesis, as biological sensors and as separation materials in pharmaceutical applications.</p> |
