Molecular chirality induction to an achiral π-conjugated polymer by circularly polarized light.

A preferred-handed helical conformation was induced to poly(9,9-dioctylfluoren-2,7-diyl) (PDOF) in a thin film form upon irradiation with single-handed circularly polarized light (CPL) where the induction was reversible.
