Effective Chiral Interactions between Nonchiral Rigid Macromolecules in a Chiral Solvent and the Induced Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Phase
It has been shown that a nonchiral anisotropic macromolecule embedded in a chiral dielectric solvent possesses an effective optical activity proportional to the optical activity of the solvent. As a result, there exists an effective chiral interaction between the macromolecules, which creates a torq...
