Abstract
A trick of light: An optically active preferred-handed helical polymer synthesized by asymmetric anionic polymerization underwent stereomutation upon photoirradiation, whereas the helix remained stable upon heating (see picture). This photoinduced racemization of a synthetic helical polymer occurred without any changes in chemical bonding, such as bond formation, bond cleavage, or the isomerization of a double bond.
