Abstract
Supramolecular chirality was optically induced in amorphous and achiral azobenzene polymer films by irradiation of a laser beam with elliptical polarization. The chirality resulted from helical orientation of azobenzene chromophores by a combined process of circular and linear polarization. The helix-handedness could be controlled by incident light-handedness.Entities:
