Chiral emergence in multistep hierarchical assembly of achiral conjugated polymers

Chiral assembly of achiral building blocks can engender properties without resorting to complex stereochemistry. Here, the authors reveal chiral emergence from achiral semiconducting polymers which pave the way to chiral (opto)electronics.
