Abstract
Optically active copolymers of (−) menthyl acrylate (MtA) with trans-4-hydroxystilbene acrylate (SA), with a wide composition range, have been prepared using AIBN as the radical initiator. Reactivity ratio values of the comonomers, evaluated by the Kelen-Tüdös method, have allowed us to show that SA exhibits a higher reactivity compared with MtA. Mean sequence lengths of both co-units and their distribution in the macromolecules have been evaluated by statistical calculations. Chiroptical properties of side-chain stilbene chromophores have been investigated by circular dichroism measurements and related to the composition and distribution of monomeric units.
